----------------------------------
Summary: Can I avoid the starters?
Key: CAMEL-15273
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15273
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Wish
Components: camel-spring-boot-starters
Affects Versions: 3.4.0
Reporter: Corneliu C
Hi,
I have a hard-time understanding how and why to use the new 3.4.x starters vs
individual components, but this is what the documentation suggests.
I have a hard time because they bring unnecessary JAR's which I have now to
manage in pom.xml via exclusions.
For example:
{code:java}
<!-- Camel -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-support</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-jsonpath-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-jackson-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-jaxb-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-metrics-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-soap-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-disruptor-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>{code}
Each of these starters now bring me the _spring-boot-starter-logging_ which I
don't need as I'm using Log4J2 for this. As a result I have now both _log4J2_
and _logback_ in my classpath. Obviously I can add exclusions but then what's
the point of the starters?
Unless there's something subtle which I don't understand yet, I find the
starters to be really targeting the lazy; I fail to see why is not enough to
add _camel-spring-boot-starter_ for the purpose of having Spring Boot and next
just add the regular Apache Camel's components?
Ok, if starters will remain, is it ok then to ignore them and simply add the
regular Camel components to avoid this extra work? Can this be documented?
Thank you
