Hi,
This page looks old indeed. Sorry, I don't have any updated version available but wanted to drive you to the
maven-activemq-perf-plugin that can easily be used to run custom load tests. The plugin supports a number of configuration options but will fall behind JMeter on the reporting side. Still it might serve your needs. Perhaps give it a try.
Some more notes: http://tmielke.blogspot.com/2011/02/load-tests-with-activemq.html.
The sample pom file on the plugin documentation did not work that easily outside of the AMQ source code folder. Here is a sample pom that I have been using a lot:

With this pom, follow the instructions on the plugin doc on how to start consumer and producer.
