Since we're on a major migration process of this website, some component documents here are out of sync right now. In the meantime you may want to look at the early version of the new website

We would very much like to receive any feedback on the new site, please join the discussion on the Camel user mailing list.

camel-archetype-war

Deprecated Camel 2.6 or older: This archetype is used to create a new Camel project that deploys the Camel Web Console, REST API, and your routes as a WAR file.

camel-archetype-webconsole

Deprecated Camel 2.7: This archetype is used to create a new Camel project that deploys the Camel Web Console, REST API, and your routes as a WAR file.

camel-archetype-web

Camel 2.7: This archetype is used to create a new Camel project that deploys Camel Routes using Spring or Java DSL as a WAR file.

The maven coordinates for these archetypes is the following:

  <groupId>org.apache.camel.archetypes</groupId>
  <artifactId>${archetype-name}</artifactId>
  <version>${camel-version}</version>

When using these archetypes, make sure your package name is not org.apache.camel (or a sub package of this) as this will instruct Camel to search in its own packages for your routes. This can also cause Camel not to start, as shown in CAMEL-1197.

Snapshot archetypes

If you would like to use an archetype from an unreleased version of Camel, you just need to let the maven-archetype-plugin know where to look for it. For example, say someone wanted to create a WAR based project based on Camel 2.9.0. He'd need to use the following command

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-web \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.9.0 \
  -DarchetypeRepository=https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group

Notice that archetypes will now be downloaded from Apache's snapshot repo instead of Maven central.

When the project is created, you may need to add another repository to the pom.xml file. This is to load a SNAPSHOT version of the camel-maven-plugin

<pluginRepositories>
  <pluginRepository>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots/>
    <id>Apache Snapshot Repository</id>
    <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
  </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Examples

See Creating a new Spring based Camel Route for a sample how to use the camel-archetype-java and camel-archetype-spring archetypes.
