Please publish which versions of Rabbit are compatible with Spring AMQP

[digitalsanctum]

I may have missed it somewhere but it would be awesome if known issues are published. For example, I lost a bunch of time troubleshooting an issue that turned out to be an incompatibility with the latest Java client. Code works with version 2.1.0 but not 2.6.1. Here's the exception I was getting before figuring out that there was an issue with the client:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/rabbitmq/client/impl/LongString

I was mistaken. It looks like spring-rabbit has a transitive dependency on amqp-client 2.5.0. Once I removed the java client dependency everything worked.

Unfortunately version v2.5 and v2.6 of the rabbitmq amqp-client are not compatible to each other (LongString moved from com.rabbitmq.client.impl to com.rabbitmq.client IIRC) so that you might run into problems when using v2.6.

Because of this you might get a ClassNotFoundException in spring-rabbit if you try to it with v2.6

Are you not using maven?

... never the less the 2.6.1 version (I had still declared) was picked up instead of the 2.5 version :-( I would have expected that both versions would then be present, but that wasn't the case. Please ask maven why :-)
Just by removing the 2.6 version solved the problem
