Hi Claus,

I have already seen the model package in camel-core. I still do not see any
metamodel for components. Endpoint configurations are based on URI
configurations which can very easily change from one release to another and
pretty hard to track.

IMO Camel still lacks the definition of metamodels for components (like
File, JMS, Cxf, etc..). It should define a standard way to expose the
metamodel for any custom component so that all optional/required properties
can then be easily tracked.

Best Regards,
Madhav

When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not
know it, but for the sake of defending those that do
