you can definitely setup Hermes with UM.
you need three UM jar files.
nAdminAPI
nClient
nJMS
and you need 1.6 JDK or JRE. the latest version of hermes i found is 1.14 which runs only with 1.6
Let me know if you need more information.
However i want to know what is the purpose. Enterprise manager\viewer can be used to do samething.
