Description

Inspired by JMockit which use object initializers for introducing their Java DSL, I think it would be a good idea to add a no-op default implementation of RouteBuilder, with a short name like 'Routes'.

ctx.add(new Routes {{
      from("file:data/inbox?noop=true")
        .to("file:data/outbox");
}});

That way one can avoid the creation of anonymous inner classes, which is not only shorted and less boilerplate but also creates less classes and saves non-heap memory.

 

A simple POC as submitted as PR at https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/2401 which could be extended to include better unit testing and documentation.
