Description

In camel-k we have a mechanism to load routes written in different languages, in camel instead we only support XML.

We should move the generic loader to Camel from Camel K and leave the implementations where they fit better.

I'm proposing to remove the following methods from the ExtendedCamelContext and replace them with a generic discovery mechanism similar to the one used for components & co to find the appropriate loader based on the file extension.

    /**
     * Sets a custom {@link XMLRoutesDefinitionLoader} to be used.
     */
    void setXMLRoutesDefinitionLoader(XMLRoutesDefinitionLoader xmlRoutesDefinitionLoader);

    /**
     * Gets the {@link XMLRoutesDefinitionLoader} to be used.
     */
    XMLRoutesDefinitionLoader getXMLRoutesDefinitionLoader();
