Hi Benjamin, Its not that I found anything with Camel. Its the documentation from the Gemini Blueprint project that concerns me. Reading the following:
>From the Gemini Blueprint Migration Document http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/documentation/migration/: {snip} ** Removed deprecated modules ** As of Gemini Blueprint M1, not all modules or projects inside Spring DM have been moved. At the moment only the io, core, extender and test modules have transitioned are provided in M1. With the up-coming release of OSGi RFC-66, the web support is being discontinued. Existing users are encouraged to look at Eclipse Gemini Web project. The plans for the Maven archetype and annotation extension are undefined for the moment and these modules are NOT included in Gemini Blueprint project. {snip} While there may be minimal or small issues for Camel itself, Camel Users may have extended or used features based on Spring DM. Given that, I don't feel comfortable stating anything less than it can/will break backwards compatibility. Make sense?
