[REQ] Decouple java-camel generator from Spring Boot dependencies

[drmaniac]

The existing java-camel generator's tight integration with Spring Boot limits its usability in non-Spring Boot Camel projects. To increase flexibility, consider the following options:

Option 1: New "Plain Camel" Generator

• Create a separate generator focused on producing Camel routes using only core Apache Camel DSL.
• No Spring or other external framework dependencies.

Option 2: Refactor Existing Generator

Modify the current java-camel generator to offer options:

• Core Camel DSL: Generate routes without Spring-specific components or annotations.
• Spring Boot Integration (optional): Enable the use of Spring Boot features if desired.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Flexibility: Developers can choose the level of integration with Spring Boot.
• Supports broader use cases for the Apache Camel generator

Thanks for the suggestion.

I prefer option 2 to add an option to optionally enable spring boot integration.
