Well if you create CamelContext yourself from a Java application in
the main method. Then you must handle its lifecycle.
This is no different than lets say you created a Spring
ApplicationContext in the same way.
You can extend a MainSupport class from org.apache.camel.util which
have some logic for "keep running".
However there is a better Main class in camel-spring for that.
Usually you embed Camel in your application and deploy it in some
server/container of some sort.
And then the lifecycle is handled by the container. So you can use a
stop script etc. to stop your app.
Chapter 13 in the Camel in Action book will cover this in details.
