| /></a><br />The Apache Camel project has been growing by |
| leaps and bounds lately it seems. Much of this growth has been driven by |
| a vibrant community (many thanks to all users! :) ). Its typically hard |
| though to know what kind of applications Camel is being used in. We |
| don't have much visibility into the cool stuff people are doing with |
| Camel. In particular, in would be nice to know what other applications |
| are being used with Camel... eg. CMSs, DBs, ESBs, App Servers, web |
| frameworks, other frameworks, etc etc<br /><br />I've |
| started a thread <a |
| href="http://www.nabble.com/-TO-USERS--How-do-you-use-your-Apache-Camel--tt20460957s22882.html">here</a> |
| trying to capture how folks are using Camel. Please, if you're a user of |
| Camel, take a minute to share how it is being used on the thread or |
| here. This will only help us make Camel better and more useful in the |
| future. No confidential info allowed, of course ;) |

| A typical problem folks have with Maven seems to be <a |
| href="http://aidan-skinner.livejournal.com/229584.html?thread=615632#t615632">getting |
| repeatable builds</a>. If you've encountered this, you know the |
| pain: an older release needs to be built but now fails with the dreaded |
| "Failed to resolve artifact" error. You can't really depend on most |
| Maven repos to be there indefinitely. I'm sure repos like |
| http://repo1.maven.org are pretty safe but AFAIK the maintainers are |
| under no legal obligation to keep around the artifacts forever. You most |
| likely DO have obligations to customers and thus need to ensure builds |
| are repeatable.<br /><br />You get repeatability for free |
| when you use a repository manager like <a |
| href="http://nexus.sonatype.org/">Nexus</a> - it keeps |
| downloaded artifacts around forever by default. If you don't want to use |
| a repository manager, you're going to have to save those artifacts some |
| other (manual) way. One approach would be to just tar up your local m2 |
| repo after each release and store it somewhere safe (like in SVN). Of |
| course, since local repos tend to get huge over time, you should always |
| start from an empty local repo before a release.<br /><br |
| />Hope this helps. |

| Recently I've noticed projects dropping Maven in favour of some other |
| build tool... Apache Qpid comes to mind in this case. I'm wondering, is |
| there a real good technical reason that folks do not like Maven? It has |
| its quirks... but really, what tool doesn't? I've been using it for |
| years now and like it better that any other build tool out there. |

| Here's my working Nexus config and settings.xml - hope it helps!<br |

| href="http://people.apache.org/%7Ejanstey/blog_stuff/camel_nexus_config/settings.xml">settings.xml</a><br |
| /><br />I found my Nexus config in |
| /opt/sonatype-work/nexus/conf. I'm not sure what happens when you copy |
| in a new Nexus config file so you should probably make a copy of the |
| sonatype-work directory first :) |

| I must admit, the <a |
| href="http://maven.apache.org/">Maven</a> setup at work has me |
| a bit spoiled. Direct LAN access to a bunch of Maven mirrors makes for |
| some pretty fast builds. Problem is, when I go off site I have to suffer |
| through slow builds again...<br /><br />Thanks to <a |
| href="http://bsnyderblog.blogspot.com/">Bruce</a> I now have |
| wicked fast builds off site too!! A local instance of <a |
| href="http://nexus.sonatype.org/">Nexus</a> is the answer. |
| Seriously, go take a look at <a |
| href="http://bsnyderblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/do-you-use-maven-if-so-you-need-nexus.html">the |
| steps Bruce posted</a>. It took me like 30 minutes to setup and |
| add about <span style="font-weight: bold;">twenty</span> |
| mirrors - now thats freakin' easy.<br /><br />Heres the best |
| part (I'm building <a |
| href="http://activemq.apache.org/camel">Apache Camel</a> here |
| with a clean local repo):<br /><br />No mirroring<br |
| /><span style="font-family:courier new;">[INFO] Total time: 31 |
| minutes 18 seconds</span><br /><br />Custom internal |
| mirrors<br />[INFO] Total time: 7 minutes 52 seconds<br |
| /><br />Nexus mirroring<br />[INFO] Total time: 3 minutes |
| 3 seconds<br /><br />Anyway, bottom line is that I'm |
| impressed. Great work Maven guys! |

| If you didn't know already, Eclipse allows you to define custom |
| templates for commonly used code snippets. Its a very neat feature for |
| those of us who are memory challenged or don't like typing things |
| twice!<br /><br />I think that Apache Camel users could |
| really benefit from having predefined templates for doing Camel routing. |
| I also hear a lot of requests like "I have this Java DSL route, how do I |
| do this in the Spring XML DSL?" so having both Java and XML templates |
| for the same thing is essential.<br /><br />You can find the |
| templates I did up <a |
| href="http://issues.apache.org/activemq/secure/attachment/16910/camel_java_templates.xml">here</a> |
| &amp; <a |
| href="http://issues.apache.org/activemq/secure/attachment/16911/camel_xml_templates.xml">here</a>. |
| To import these browse to the template screens defined at:<br |
| /><br />Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> |
| Templates<br />and<br />Window -> Preferences -> Web |
| and XML -> XML Files -> Templates.<br /><br />Once |
| imported, you can type Ctrl + Space and then type 'camel' to search for |
| the camel templates. You should see something like this in the Java and |
| XML editors:<br /><br /><a onblur="try |
| {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" |
| href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JZEz3zQ95mA/SLSnY6Y4TjI/AAAAAAAAAB4/iLfLvi1ljtE/s1600-h/java_template_selection.png"><img |
| style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; |
| cursor: pointer;" |

| href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JZEz3zQ95mA/SLSnZd9AEfI/AAAAAAAAACA/qy6BVcAG6_U/s1600-h/xml_template_selection.png"><img |

| alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238996322517783026" border="0" |
| /></a><br />When you select, say a Content Based Router, |
| you'll get a route something like this in the Java and XML |
| editors:<br /><br /><a onblur="try |
| {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" |
