Hi Starting Camel context (context.start()) does *not* block the main thread. However when you do a Thread.sleep() you give a chance to the daemon thread to run the file consumer polling inside, eg 1 polling round, and as it's a daemon thread it doesn't block the JVM from exiting so that your JVM exits at the end!
You can take a look at [1] to see how you can keep your Camel standalone application running.
