Why does ActiveMQ Message server requires JDK, Not JRE?

The ActiveMQ message broker requires Java JDK (not the Java runtime JRE). Does anyone know why?

From ActiveMQ Document:

Environment: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) JRE 1.7 (1.6 for version <=5.10.0) (a JDK is required if you plan to recompile source code)

JRE is fine unless you have to recompile ActiveMQ.

I'm not sure that you actually do. Although it's listed on the requirements page, on http://activemq.apache.org/support.html you find

What platform of Java (e.g., Java SE 6 with JRE/JDK 1.6.0 or J2SE 5 with JRE/JDK 1.5.0)

Under 'how to get help'. Have you tried it with a JRE instead of a JDK?
