Hi Taariq, Thanks for the link to the page "Creating a new Camel Component". It should really be mentioned in the page "Writing Components", since it helped me a lot. I think it should also be mentioned in the user guide (I looked, but no link to http://camel.apache.org/creating-a-new-camel-component.html is included there). I would edit these pages myself, but don't have the permission to. I don't even seem to be able to add comments to these pages.
Oh, and one more thing... The page "Creating a new Camel Component" describes how to use a Maven archetype to create a consumer of the polling type. Is there also an archetype, or example code, for a consumer of a non-polling type? If I understand things correctly, you call it an event based consumer.
