I am still -1 on this. Testing camel-spring is just a little tip of the iceberg. I would rather have consistent test which newer make it out on a ghost chase because of side effects of running multiple tests in the same JVM.
With Camel we embed many different frameworks and test together in the JVM and you can't rely on the JVM being 100% left in a consistent and clean state between each method that is tested. Yes Camel takes long time to test, but it has 5500+ tests. And we got CI servers which test it throughly every day. And frankly Spring is somewhat slow to start and hence why Camel Spring is taking its time. On top of that JMX adds around 15-20% as well.
