Guillaume Nodet commented on CAMEL-20422:
-----------------------------------------
The {{META-INF/services}} folder is defined and used by the JVM to store
pointers to actual services loaded using the {{java.util.ServiceLoader}}.
If we were to move some files into the {{META-INF}} directory, and that would
definitely help locating those imho, we should at the same time avoid
over-using the {{META-INF/services}} directory and maybe use a
{{META-INF/camel}} directory where we could put everything that is not an
actual java service.

> Move component json into META-INF
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-20422
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-20422
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build system
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.x
>
>
> Today we have a marker file in META-INF/services that point to the class of
> the component.
> And then we generate json file with all component details such as options,
> description etc. That file is located outside META-INF/services in the class
> package so it can be anywhere.
> Lets standardize this and have it the same place as the marker file. This
> makes it easier to find as the files are always in the same directory.
> We are doing this with the new transformer marker files.
