To my knowledge invoking start() have newer blocked. It should not block.
Its your choice to run Camel standalone and you must keep your app
running how you like it.

Most people run Camel in some existing container which have start /
stop scripts already.

We could maybe improve the MainSupport in camel-core to make it easier
to use for use cases like yours.
You can extend it and implement the needed methods.

Or frankly you can do a while(true) loop and have a shutdown hook
registered which will stop Camel.
This is done in those MainSupport classes.
