Description
The existing java-camel generator's tight integration with Spring Boot limits its usability in non-Spring Boot Camel projects. To increase flexibility, consider the following options:
Option 1: New "Plain Camel" Generator
- Create a separate generator focused on producing Camel routes using only core Apache Camel DSL.
- No Spring or other external framework dependencies.
Option 2: Refactor Existing Generator
Modify the current java-camel generator to offer options:
- Core Camel DSL: Generate routes without Spring-specific components or annotations.
- Spring Boot Integration (optional): Enable the use of Spring Boot features if desired.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Developers can choose the level of integration with Spring Boot.
- Supports broader use cases for the Apache Camel generator

Research direction
Start by locating the existing java-camel generator and documenting where its Spring Boot dependencies and generated integrations are defined. Compare the proposed plain-Camel generator with refactoring the existing generator, then define the selected design's dependency boundaries and verify that generated projects support the intended non-Spring Boot use case.
