I've reworked the Embedded examples and user-manual documentation. Embedding HornetQ easily, especially JMS, was a bit cumbersome I found, so I wrote a few helper classes around them (BindingRegistry for example) and simplified the embedded example greatly. I also add a embedded-simple/ project under JMS that uses HornetQ config files instead of pojo instantiation.
Let me know what you think and if I need to revert.
