A small bundle for starting an OSGi Apache Camel Project.

The bundle starts the CamelContext and registering RouteBuilders from any bundle.

== Install bundle

Register an Apache Camel RouteBuilder as an OSGi service.

Using annotations

[source,java]
----
@Component(service = RouteBuilder.class)
public class MyRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
    @Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        from("timer:test?fixedRate=true&period=1000")
            .log("Hello");
    }
}
----

Or Manually

[source,java]
----
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
  context.registerService(RouteBuilder.class, new MyRouteBuilder(), null);
}
----

And it's automatically added or removed to the context from any bundle!

[source,text]
----
Route: route1 started and consuming from: timer://test?fixedRate=true&period=1000
----
