The Camel Java DSL works fine with Blueprint in Karaf. One simply bootstraps the RouteBuilder in Blueprint and then references in the Camel context of the Blueprint file. I think the problem is that documentation is inadequate. And, as Camel, Karaf, etc. changed over time documentation became krufty.
Essentially if one limits the use of Blueprint to configuration, OSGi services export and reference, and bootstrap of Camel routes it is just fine. As soon as one starts using XML as a programming language the problems begin. -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
