+== Camel Example Spring Boot
+
+This example shows how to work with a simple Apache Camel application using Spring Boot.
+
+The example generates messages using timer trigger, writes them to standard output.
+
+=== Camel routes
+
+The Camel route is located in the `SampleCamelRouter` class. In this class the route
+starts from a timer, that triggers every 2nd second and calls a Spring Bean `SampleBean`
+which returns a message, that is routed to a stream endpoint which writes to standard output.
+
+=== Using Camel components
+
+Apache Camel provides 200+ components which you can use to integrate and route messages between many systems
+and data formats. To use any of these Camel components, add the component as a dependency to your project.
+
+=== How to run
+
+You can run this example using
+
+    mvn spring-boot:run
+
+=== To get info about the routes
+
+To show a summary of all the routes
+
+----
+curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/camel/routes
+----
+
+To show detailed information for a specific route
+
+----
+curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/camel/routes/{id}/info
+----
+
+=== Help and contributions
+
+If you hit any problem using Camel or have some feedback, then please
+https://camel.apache.org/support.html[let us know].
+
+We also love contributors, so
+https://camel.apache.org/contributing.html[get involved] :-)
+
+The Camel riders!
