Apache Camel uses Java 5, generics, annotations, URIs and a pure Java based declarative DSL for configuring the routes and mediation rules so that you can easily configure your rules using lots of smart completion in your IDE which is then refactoring safe and does not require XML configuration files. Apache Camel also uses generics, annotations and URIs aso that it can easily work directly with any kind of Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API without mandating a generic normalized message API or bucket loads of XMLwhich can often lead to leaky abstractions.

So don't get the hump, try Camel today!
