| = What jars do I need? |
| |
| Camel is designed to be small lightweight and extremely modular so that |
| you only pay for what you use. The core of camel, *camel-core.jar* is |
| small and has minimal dependencies. |
| |
| On Java 6 camel-core.jar only depends on |
| |
| * *commons-management.jar* (for Camel 2.8 or older) |
| * *commons-logging.jar* (for Camel 2.6 or older) |
| * *slf4j-api.jar* (from Camel 2.7 onwards) |
| |
| On Java 5 camel-core.jar depends also on *activation.jar* and a JAXB2 |
| implementation which typically involves *jaxb-api.jar*, *jaxb-impl.jar* |
| and a StAX API which may be *stax-api.jar* and *woodstox.jar*. |
| |
| [[WhatjarsdoIneed-UsingSpring]] |
| == Using Spring |
| |
| If you wish to work with Spring, you will also need *camel-spring.jar* |
| along with the *spring.jar* or the individual spring jars if you prefer. |
| |
| [[WhatjarsdoIneed-Othercomponents]] |
| == Other components |
| |
| For other components you may want to look at the |
| http://activemq.apache.org/camel/maven/[Maven reports] to see the exact |
| dependencies of individual modules. |
| |
| For example to work with JMS you will require the JMS API jar together |
| with *camel-jms.jar* and your JMS provider of choice such as the |
| http://activemq.apache.org/[ActiveMQ] |
| http://activemq.apache.org/initial-configuration.html[required jars]. |
