# Description [CAMEL-23535](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23535) asks for an audit and enhancement of the javadoc in `core/camel-api` so that classes better explain what they are, what they do, and how they fit into the framework, with links to the relevant user-manual pages. This PR is the **first batch** of that work: class-level javadoc on the **lifecycle and context** family of top-level public-API types. Scope is intentionally narrow so the prose style can be reviewed before the rest of `core/camel-api` is updated. ## Changes Class-level javadoc expanded on 18 top-level types in `org.apache.camel`: - **Context:** `CamelContext`, `CamelContextAware`, `CamelContextLifecycle`, `CatalogCamelContext`, `ExtendedCamelContext`, `ContextEvents` - **Service lifecycle:** `Service`, `ServiceStatus`, `StatefulService` - **Exceptions:** `RuntimeCamelException`, `CamelException`, `CamelExchangeException`, `AlreadyStoppedException`, `FailedToCreateRouteException`, `FailedToStartRouteException`, `FailedToStartComponentException`, `FailedToCreateConsumerException`, `FailedToCreateProducerException` Each updated docblock follows the same pattern: a one-sentence what-it-is, a paragraph on the role in routing / lifecycle, sibling-type `{@link}` references, and (where a matching user-manual page exists) one `<a href="https://camel.apache.org/manual/...";>` link. The convention matches the existing javadoc style in `Endpoint.java`, `Component.java`, `Processor.java`, `Message.java`, `Route.java`. The change is **comment-only**: no signatures, behaviour, or runtime code is altered. ## Out of scope (follow-ups) - Public-method javadoc gap-filling in `core/camel-api`. - The rest of the top-level `org.apache.camel.*` surface (messaging core, endpoints/components/producers/consumers, routes & builders, annotations & functional types) will land as subsequent batches under the same JIRA. - `org.apache.camel.spi.*` and other sub-packages (catalog, console, cloudevents, cluster, clock, ai, health, vault, resume, trait, support). # Target - [x] I checked that the commit is targeting the correct branch (Camel 4 uses the `main` branch) # Tracking - [x] If this is a large change, bug fix, or code improvement, I checked there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23535) filed for the change. # Apache Camel coding standards and style - [x] I checked that each commit in the pull request has a meaningful subject line and body. - [x] I have run \`mvn clean install -DskipTests\` locally from root folder and I have committed all auto-generated changes. --- _Claude Code on behalf of Adriano Machado_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
