Java EE 7 and JMS 2.0 introduced the @JMSDestinationDefinitions annotation which allows automatic creation of JMS resources at deployment time:

import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.ejb.Startup;
import javax.jms.JMSDestinationDefinition;
import javax.jms.JMSDestinationDefinitions;

@JMSDestinationDefinitions(
        value = {
            @JMSDestinationDefinition(
                    name = "java:/queue/duke-queue",
                    interfaceName = "javax.jms.Queue",
                    destinationName = "duke"
            ),
            @JMSDestinationDefinition(
                    name = "java:/topic/duke-topic",
                    interfaceName = "javax.jms.Topic",
                    destinationName = "duke-topic"
            )
        }
)
@Startup
@Singleton
public class Initializer {
     
    @Resource(lookup = "java:/queue/duke-queue")
    private Queue queue;      
    
    @Produces
    public Queue expose() {
        return this.queue;
    }
}

The conveniently created JMS destination (Queue or Topic) can be immediately exposed to dependency injection with the CDI @Produces annotation.
