Camel CLI (Camel JBang) provides an easy way to try Apache Camel without extensive configuration. It allows installing Camel dependencies with jbang, developing and running Camel integrations locally, and exporting projects to runtimes like Quarkus. Current features include dependency management, running Camel DSLs, hot reloading, and exporting to Spring Boot. Future plans include managing multiple integrations, improved health checks, and running on additional runtimes. Camel JBang aims to lower the barrier to experimenting with Camel.
