MQTT Javascript client library uses WebSocket as the transport. Are there any plans to run MQTT over WebSocket for other clients such as Java? Or, are there any plans to make the transport pluggable so that developers can swap in transport of their choice?

We have plans to make a C/C++ client with pluggable transport, see here: http://mbed.org/teams/mqtt/code/MQTT/

But not currently for Java. Why do you think Java over WebSockets would be useful?

A pluggable transport would be useful for all clients -- C/C+, Java, C#, etc.

I think that opening up additional ports in the firewall, as needed by running MQTT directly over TCP, would not sit well with enterprises who are very conservative about it. WebSocket protocol uses port 80 for regular WebSocket connections and port 443 for WebSocket connections tunneled over TLS. Since ports 80 and 443 are already open in a corporate firewall to handle HTTP and HTTP traffic, there is no need for any additional ports to be opened if MQTT is running over WebSocket. So, running MQTT over WebSocket would not run into any resistance from the corporate IT folks and this translates into wider MQTT acceptance.

Seems like that is two requirements! I've been wondering what future requirements there might be. I'll note these down. We'll be tracking requirements in Eclipse bugs.
