In the context of a few web based consoles available for Camel,
including the Karaf console and the recently announced hawt.io, the
question of if Camel needs its own console popped up.
My understanding is the some are in favor or Camel continuing to ship
with a web console. My personal opinion is that we should not (starting
with 3.0).
I understand that a web console is very useful to users and a nice to
have. However, our console is not that great (to put it mildly), not
really maintained and we lack the necessary ui knowledge in the
community to maintain something of excellent quality. I think we should
focus on the server side technology that we do so well.
Therefore, my personal position and proposal is that we should either
move the console in a subproject or remove it completely.
Thoughts?
