Camel Maven Archetypes

Camel is distributed with the following archetypes for Maven end users.

Archetype Supported

Archetype

Description

camel-archetype-activemq

This archetype is used to create a new Maven project for Camel routes. You can use this quickly to get up to speed using Camel with ActiveMQ

camel-archetype-component

This archetype is used for creating a new Maven project for Camel components. Use this if there is a component missing in Camel that you want to create yourself.

camel-archetype-java

This archetype is used to create a new Maven project for Camel routes. You can use this quickly to get up to speed. The archetypes includes sample code that supporting Spring style routing as well.

camel-archetype-scala

This archetype is used to create a new Maven projects for building Camel routes in the Scala DSL. The archetype contains a sample RouteBuilder as well as configuration for using the routes from Spring and OSGi.

camel-archetype-spring

This archetype is used to create a new Maven project for Camel routes. You can use this quickly to get up to speed. It is very similar to the camel-archetype-java archetype with the Java DSL transposed to Spring XML.

camel-archetype-war

This archetype is used to create a new Camel project that deploys the Camel Web Console, REST API, and your routes as a WAR file.

camel-archetype-light-war

This archetype is used to create a new Camel project that deploys Camel Routes using Spring or Java DSL as a WAR file.

When using these archetypes, make sure your package name is not org.apache.camel (or a sub package of this) as this will instruct Camel to search in its own packages for your routes. This can also cause Camel not to start, as shown in CAMEL-1197.

Snapshot archetypes

If you would like to use an archetype from an unreleased version of Camel, you just need to let the maven-archetype-plugin know where to look for it. For example, say someone wanted to create a WAR based project based on Camel 2.7-SNAPSHOT. He'd need to use the following command

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-war \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.7-SNAPSHOT \
  -DarchetypeRepository=https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group

Notice that archetypes will now be downloaded from Apache's snapshot repo instead of Maven central.

When the project is created, you may need to add another repository to the pom.xml file. This is to load a SNAPSHOT version of the camel-maven-plugin 

<pluginRepositories>
  <pluginRepository>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots/>
    <id>Apache Snapshot Repository</id>
    <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
  </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Examples

See Creating a new Spring based Camel Route for a sample how to use the camel-archetype-java and camel-archetype-spring archetypes.
