+1 This will make a few things easier for us and for our users. Of course, we can host this component in camel-extra on googlecode, but we often ignore/forget these components (the last version is 2.8.0). And I think many of our users don't know that we also host some components because of license reasons on camel-extra.
I will checkout the code from github and play with it a bit... @Björn: If you are the owner of this contribution, could you please open a JIRA for this new component and attach it (don't forget to grant the Apache license). Than we could put it into camel-extra and start to work to improve this component. And if Hibersap is licensed with a compatible license, we can move it into our repo at Apache.
