ActiveMQ Browser V2.5.2.8 can't connect to ActiveMQ V5.12.1

Question

I tried to connect to ActiveMQ V5.12.1 with ActiveMQ Browser V2.5.2.8, they are installed on the same computer. but failed. ActiveMQ Browser always complaining /* Could not start QBrowserV2 Failed to connect to ActiveMQ JMX Server. */ I followed its instruction to use Jms=true on broker elment of activemq.xml, also set connectorPort="10000", rmiServerPort="10001" on managementContext element. I left other configuations default and restart activemq by double clicking the activemq.bat file which located under ACTIVEMQ_HOME\bin\win64

but still no luck.

Meanwhile, I noticed that i can use jconsole to connect ActiveMQ successfully. Anyone had met same problems? What I want to use ActiveMQ Browser is to monitor the incoming messages, when it is not consumed by subscriber and is in dispatched queue, I want to extract the concrete message contents.

I checked the question, but it is Activemq 5.8.0. Apache ActiveMQ browser can't connect to JMX console

I had this problem now with ActiveMQ 5.13.4 and my problem was that I didn't copy the correct activemq jar files to AvtiveMQBrowser folder.

https://sourceforge.net/p/activemqbrowser/discussion/962581/thread/464131a8/#0ce4

1. Copy activemq-all-<version>.jar from the <installation folder> of ActiveMQ broker to ActiveMQBrowser_<version> folder.
2. Copy activemq-web-<version>.jar from the <installation folder>/lib of ActiveMQ broker to ActiveMQBrowser_<version> folder.
3. Update run_activemq_browser.bat with paths to the correct activeMQ jar files including correct version number.

The above steps allowed me to connect.
