Description

Both camel-quarkus and camel-k have now a concept of routes loader which allow to customize how and if routes are loaded in the case of camel-quarkus or to provide support for routes written in additional languages in the case of camel-k.

It would be nice to introduce an official SPI in camel and leverage as example in camel-main, so one could write something like:

Main main = new Main()
main.addRoutes(
    "classpath:my.company.MyRouteImpl.class",
    "file:/etc/camel/integration.js",
     ...
);

main.run()

And loading of the routes is the delegated to a loader discovered by camel using the SPI mechanic.
We could also provide some helpers similar to what we have as today to load XML routes like:

Routes.load(context, "file:/etc/camel/integration.js");
