Description

We have several places were we create the export files by code. Not only this bug-prone, but this is also extremely hard to read, test, maintain and evolve. The code on Camel JBang is full of code like this.

Using a template engine allow us to separate the template source, from the text/code generation logic, resulting in a code that is easier to maintain.

We should pick a template engine, convert the all that code to the appropriate format and cleanup the code generation.
