Section 1.1 of Camel In Action says, "The Apache Camel project was named Camel simply because the name is short and easy to remember."
But here's a thought. When you think about it, the name "Camel" is so appropriate to the notion of what Camel does that you'd think the name was chosen on purpose. Even the picture of the Bedouin fits. For the nomadic, desert-dwelling people of ages past, the camel was the key method of transport, and was essential to creating and maintaining the lines of communication that connected distant communities. Individuals, families, trade goods of all kinds, and messages were all carried back and forth by caravans of camels. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/The-Camel-Name-Just-A-Thought-tp5774938.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
