Creating a new Camel Component

If you want to create your own version of the Camel Component you can use the Camel Maven Archetypes.

mvn archetype:generate                   \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes  \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-component \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.9.0  \
  -DgroupId=myGroupId                  \
  -DartifactId=myArtifactId

This will create a maven project which contains a demo component, you need to implements your own component by modifying it.You need to move the META-INF/services/direct file to META-INF/services/PACKAGE_NAME/FOO where FOO is the URI scheme for your component and any related endpoints created on the fly and PACKAGE_NAME is your component's package name which is replaced the '.' with '/'.

Optional properties (available as of Camel 2.9.0)

By default the camel component archetype will generate a HelloWorldComponent that will use the URI scheme helloworld. You can further customize the generated component by using some custom parameters passed to the component.

Usage Examples:

To create the "Awesome" component and all its related classes (AwesomeComponent, AwesomeEndpoint, AwesomeProducer etc) that will use the awesome URI scheme:

mvn archetype:generate                   \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes  \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-component \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.9.0  \
  -DgroupId=myGroupId                  \
  -DartifactId=myArtifactId  \
  -Dname=Awesome             \
  -Dscheme=awsome            \
