-------------------------------------

             Summary: provide a way to introspect a component, find the various 
parameters available and their types so that tooling can provide forms to let 
users create & customise endpoints
                 Key: CAMEL-6306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6306
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: james strachan
            Assignee: james strachan


>From the current EndpointConfiguration you need a URI or Endpoint to be able 
>to get the configuration object; and there's no way to introspect it to find 
>its properties.

Tools like IDEs or web consoles typically need to start from a blank slate, 
create a form and let users enter the various properties required to configure 
and create a new endpoint.

So this issue adds a new ComponentConfiguration API; which is like 
EndpointConfiguration but can be created on any existing Camel component 
without any code changes and lets users configure the configuration; then 
either create a URI string or create an Endpoint directly - or introspect the 
available properties.

There are 2 implementations; a basic implementation which works with any camel 
component today and a more advanced implementation which makes use of the 
@UriEndpoint / @UriParam / @UriParams annotations from CAMEL-6304 to provide 
better metadata.

The aim is to work with all camel components/endpoints from day 1 but to 
provide a way for endpoint developers to provide better metadata by using some 
annotations
