----------------------------------------
Summary: Add install scripts to camel-launcher distribution archive
Key: CAMEL-23478
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23478
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-jbang
Affects Versions: 4.20.0
Reporter: Federico Mariani
The camel-launcher distribution (zip/tar.gz) currently ships the JAR and run
scripts ({{camel.sh}}/{{camel.bat}}), but users must manually copy JARs, create
wrapper scripts, configure PATH, and handle platform-specific details (e.g.,
macOS quarantine). This creates friction for new users and makes upgrades
error-prone.
h3. Proposal
Ship {{install.sh}} (Linux + macOS) and {{install.cmd}} (Windows) in the
distribution archive root. Running the installer automates the full setup:
- Verifies Java 17+ is available
- Copies the JAR to a canonical location ({{~/opt/camel/}} on Unix,
{{%LOCALAPPDATA%\Camel}} on Windows) with a stable name for easy upgrades
- Creates a wrapper script in a standard user bin directory ({{~/bin/}} on
macOS, {{~/.local/bin/}} on Linux, {{%LOCALAPPDATA%\Camel}} on Windows)
- Adds the bin directory to PATH if not already present
- Detects existing JBang-based Camel installs and suggests cleanup
- Handles re-runs for upgrades (replaces JAR, avoids duplicate PATH entries)
