This is truly unfortunate, but I can't say I didn't suspect it will happen. For those interested, I propose we move the major functionality slated for JMS 2.1 forward through an open source community project that can be standardized as soon as possible.
I will post the details on this shortly. Support from major vendors including Oracle for the comminity project would be most welcome.

Oracle has now asked me to announce that it will withdraw JSR 368 (JMS 2.1), in accordance with the proposed Java EE 8
roadmap presented by Anil Gaur and others at JavaOne 2016 and the results of the community survey.
This is also announced here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/theaquarium/entry/a_quick_update_on_java
Note that although JSR 368 is ending, the email group users_at_jms-spec.java.net continues for general discussion of the
JMS specification. If you have general questions about the plans for Java EE 8 please use users_at_javaee-spec.java.net
