| = Is it possible to start Camel as a standalone application, without embedding it in another application? |
| |
| Yes, Camel can run standalone or in any container. Running Standalone is |
| as simple just to create a xref:camelcontext.adoc[CamelContext], add |
| routes and start it. If you don't want to write your own Java main, you |
| could use the one from xref:components::spring.adoc[camel-spring] |
| (http://camel.apache.org/maven/current/camel-spring/apidocs/) also used |
| by the xref:camel-maven-plugin.adoc[Camel Maven Plugin]. |
| |
| The starting guide is a good place to start: + |
| xref:getting-started.adoc[Getting Started] |
| |
| And the concrete walk through a plain old java main example: + |
| xref:walk-through-an-example.adoc[Walk through an Example] |

| The FAQ have some more details: + |

| |
| And if you use Maven for your projects Camel has maven tools to boot up |
| in standalone mode and quickly run you Camel application: + |
| xref:camel-maven-plugin.adoc[Camel Maven Plugin] |
| |
| This is how you can run the xref:examples.adoc[Examples] that is |
| included in the Camel distribution. |
