Creating a new Spring based Camel Route
If you want to create your own version of the Spring Example you can use the maven archetype.
mvn archetype:create \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-router \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.0 \ -DgroupId=myGroupId \ -DartifactId=myArtifactId
Note: -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.0 is the version number of Camel. Change this to the current version of Camel you are using.
Note: For Camel 1.5 and later, you must specify -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes
Note: The newer version 2.0-alpha-1 of the maven-archetype-plugin breaks the above command. As a workaround until this gets resolved you can specify the version explicitly as below.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-router \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.0 \ -DgroupId=myGroupId \ -DartifactId=myArtifactId
This will create a maven project which can be run immediately via the Camel Maven Plugin as follows
cd myArtifactId mvn camel:run
The configuration file is in src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml.
The routing rules lives at src/main/java/myGroupId/MyRouteBuilder.java
