+# Spring Boot packaging for Camel
+
+## Goals
+
+Spring Boot enables you to package your Camel routes along with any required
+dependency. A "fat jar" is produced and can be run with just a `java -jar /path/to/app.jar`.
+
+In this example, we will package the Camel routes as a Spring Boot application.
+
+## How this project has been created
+
+Generate a new Maven project using the `camel-archetype-spring-boot` archetype:
+```
+mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-spring-boot -DarchetypeVersion=2.21.1 -DinteractiveMode=false -DgroupId=fr.itix.camel-examples -DartifactId=spring-boot-packaging -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=fr.itix.camel.spring_boot_packaging
+```
+
+By default, the `camel-archetype-spring-boot` archetype creates a sample route
+using the Java DSL. In this example, we will use the Spring DSL, so you can remove
+the two following classes:
+```
+rm src/main/java/fr/itix/camel/spring_boot_packaging/MySpringBean.java
+rm src/main/java/fr/itix/camel/spring_boot_packaging/MySpringBootRouter.java
+```
+
+Create a `camel` directory in `src/main/resources`:
+```
+mkdir src/main/resources/camel/
+```
+
+Create an `hello-world.xml` file in the newly created `camel` directory with
+this content:
+```
+<routes xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
+  <route id="hello-world">
+    <from uri="timer:hello?period=1000"/>
+    <log message="Hello, world !" />
+  </route>
+</routes>
+```
+
+## Try it !
+
+Each time you changed something in your `camel-context.xml`, you will have
+to re-run Camel with:
+```
+mvn package spring-boot:run
+```
+
+If you followed the instructions, you should have something like this:
+```

+
+## Packaging
+
+As you might have noticed, by default this archetype generates a fat jar:
+```
+$ ls -lh target/*.jar
+-rw-r--r--  1 nmasse  staff    21M Jun  5 12:40 target/spring-boot-packaging-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+When ready, you can copy the fat jar on another server and run it:
+```
+java -jar target/spring-boot-packaging-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
