This will then add the dependencies on the Spring JavaConfig library along with some helper classes for configuring Camel inside Spring.

Note that this library is totally optional; you could just wire Camel together yourself with Java Config.

Example

The following example using Java Config is actually a Spring Testing based unit test.

{snippet:lang=java|id=example|url=activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring-javaconfig/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/spring/javaconfig/patterns/FilterTest.java}

The @ContextConfiguration annotation tells the Spring Testing framework to load the ContextConfig class as the configuration to use. This class derives from SingleRouteCamelConfiguration which is a helper Spring Java Config class which will configure the CamelContext for us and then register the RouteBuilder we create.

If you wish to create a collection of RouteBuilder instances then derive from the CamelConfiguration helper class and implement the routes() method.
