---------------------------------------
Ahh, wasn't aware of this option... Yes, I would agree then.
> Remove recently added additional HL7 Type Converters

> Key: CAMEL-12493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12493
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-hl7
> Affects Versions: 2.21.0
> Reporter: christian ohr
> Priority: Major
>
> In Camel 2.21.0, HL7-version/event-specific type converters were added to
> camel-hl7. IMHO this was a bad idea:
> * it transitively pulls in *all* HL7 structure libraries, regardless whether
> you need them in your application or not. That's nearly 10MB. Btw, type
> converters for the newer HL7 versions 2.7, 2.8, 2.8.1 were simply
> disregarded, which would have gifted you with another ~ 7.5MB.
> * manually excluding one or more of them causes the
> AnnotationTypeConverterLoader to throw ugly NoClassDefFoundError stack traces
> in the log
> * the component documentation states that you have to manually add structure
> library dependencies (the way it should be, really)
> Proposal: remove these type converters. I think it's acceptable to do a
> simple type cast in a processor or add a manual \{{convertBodyTo(HL7Class)}}
> in the route instead.
> Opinions? (I'm happy to provide a PR :))
