Thank you for your reply. I tried using the EIP filter and I could not get
it to work even after comparing milliseconds to milliseconds.

I then tried Christian's suggestion and it work as expected. My route ended
up as
@Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("file:{{file.inbox}}?delete=true&filter=#FilterOldFiles")
 .process(new FileProcessor());
}

and the class FilterOldFiles as
public class FilterOldFiles<T> implements GenericFileFilter<T> {
    public boolean accept(GenericFile<T> file) {
        DateTime date = new DateTime();
        if(date.minusDays(30).getMillis() > file.getLastModified())
         return true;
        return false;
    }
}

Thank you both for you help
