Original: https://camel.apache.org/manual/getting-started.html

• An project based on Apache Camel can be created in several ways:
  • Using online project generators
    • Camel Kameleon
    • Spring Boot Initializer
    • Code with Quarkus (https://code.quarkus.io)
  • Camel CLI
    • camel init
    • camel run
    • …
  • Camel Karavan
    • Camel Karavan (“Camel UI for routes etc.”) will generates all necessary files
  • Others
    • Adding Camel to an existing project
    • Using Maven Archetypes
    • …

• Dependencies
  • Camel 4.0.0+ needs JDK 17
  • Camel core needs only slf4j-api (logging library)
  • Camel Components will need their dependencies (which should be described in pom.xml)
