If you take a look at the org.apache.camel.spring.Main, you will find
this Main class has start and stop methods, so you could write your own
manager class which is based on the Spring main.

I think you need get to know some detail of the camel ErrorHandler[1][2]
first, then you could write your own DeadLetterChannel[3][4] to add you
what you need to control the exchange before retrying.
