Hi We have a contribution in ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6584
I am sending this mail to the PMC to have some thoughts about this contribution. 1) If you see from the ticket, then splunk JARs is NOT in maven central. And that would require our build of Apache Camel to depend on a 3rd party maven repo. Which IMHO isn't desireable. Though as splunk JARs is not OSGi compliant, we could possible create a OSGi wrapper bundle, and release it as part of ServiceMix bundle releases, the SMX team do, which are in Maven central: http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/bundles/ So if we do an OSGi bundle and release at SMX then we could rely on maven central. Preben, the author of camel-splunk, has AFAIK been in touch with Splunk about OSGify their JARs, but they seems not interested doing this. Basically you can use their API JARs and download them from their Maven repo - thats it. So still we can get the SMX team to do OSGi bundles of these API JARs and release as part of their bundle releases and we can use them from Maven central. So IMHO we have a solution to this issue. 2) Splunk server is not open source. Though you can download a free version which has limited indexing capabilities. But the source code is not open source etc. Though all the other Camel components are integrating with 100% free open source libraries. Any thoughts on going down this road? Having out of the box Camel components that integrate with closed source software? -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
