With the help of @RunWith from JUnit you can inspect the test class with the annotation in you custom runner. So we don’t need to ask the user to extend the CamelTestSupport anymore.
If we still want to support the annotation for the test class which extends CamelTestSupport, we just need find a way to check the annotation with the reflection APIs. ReflectionHelper just provides some callbacks for you to inspect the annotations on the filed or the method, maybe we need add a new method for inspecting the annotation of the class. -- Willem Jiang Red Hat, Inc.
