Looks like RedHat has been one step forward with Swarm :
http://wildfly.org/news/2015/05/05/WildFly-Swarm-Released/
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Container container = new Container();
container.subsystem(new MessagingFraction()
.server(
new MessagingServer()
.enableInVmConnector()
.topic("my-topic")
.queue("my-queue")
)
);
// Start the container
container.start();
