Hi Claus, +1 to remove ANT from the examples.
Regarding the new hello world examples, it's a good idea, +1 also. Maven archetype is also helpful for the users. Regards JB On 07/08/2011 10:24 AM, Claus Ibsen wrote:
Hi We have 34 examples in the Camel kit. And frankly to keep most of them updated to work and run with Apache Ant is a p*** in the ****. I would like to discuss if we should consider reducing the number of examples that can run with Ant? The current pain points - Keep Ant examples up to date is manual labor - Some examples dont currently work as documented in README.txt file - End user will have to manually download 3rd party libraries such as Spring, ActiveMQ, Hibernate etc. - End user will have to set environment variables for home, eg ACTIVEMQ_HOME, ASPECTJ_HOME, HIBERNATE_HOME etc. - Some examples have migrated and uses OpenJPA with Maven instead of Hibernate, and thus running with Maven vs. Ant diverts. I suggest that we remove ANT support for the more complicated examples where you need to download many different 3rd party projects and whatnot. We may want to keep it on a few simpler examples that we know can be supported. Sidebar ====== Now that we talk about examples. I would like to add a very simple hello world examples as well. Something we can use in the getting started guide, so people who download the .zip / .tar can follow a guide. And run the hello world example and see that Camel is up and running quickly. For example it could be based on the maven archetype that creates a sample project (that example which moves files using a Content Based Router). Then we could have this example supported by Ant and Maven. ===== Any thoughts?
