There are some changes we need to do in camel to support the upcoming
karaf 4. The most visible difference is that karaf 4 will include jetty 9.
Recently Dan migrated the camel-jetty component to support jetty 8 and 9
on the consumer side. The consumer should be solved for the most part.
On the client side jetty changed a lot more though so it is difficult to
support jetty 8 and 9 with the same client code. So I think we have some
options here:
1. Split up the jetty component into a module for the server side that
supports jetty 8 and 9 and separate components for the client side for
jetty 8 and 9 respectively
2. Have separate jetty components for each major version of jetty
3. Remove the jetty producer side as most people use camel-http or
camel-http4 anyway
I personally would go for option 3 as we have a lot of http components
already and I don't think many people used jetty as a producer.
Another argument for it is that the next major version of jetty will
probably be largely incompatible again. So it would be good to have less
exposure to jetty apis.
