Is it possible to connect to a locally running IBM MQ Light with Java and JMS?

Question

the title of the question says almost everything: is it possible to connect to a locally running IBM MQ Light with Java and JMS? In the comments section of this post, Rob Nicholson says this is not possible, but I wonder if everyone has changed. Unfortunately, I could not find information that clearly denies this possibility, other than this comment.

Just to clarify, MQ Light works locally, not on IBM bluemix.

Of course you can use JMS with MQLight!

MQLight AMQP 1.0, , , Apache QPid Proton library.

MQLight.

Main.java

import org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory;
import javax.jms.*;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        try {
            ConnectionFactory cf = new JmsConnectionFactory("amqp://localhost:5672");
            Connection connection = cf.createConnection();
            Session session = connection.createSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
            MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(session.createQueue("QUE.BAR"));
            producer.send(session.createTextMessage("foo bar"));
            producer.close();
            session.close();
            connection.close();
        }catch(JMSException jmsException){
            jmsException.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
