Description

I'd love to have an option to automatically read AMQP connection parameters from Camel properties. So for example in Spring Boot I can create a bean like:

@Bean
AMQPConnectionDetails amqpConnection() {
  return new AMQPConnectionDetails.discoverAMQP();
}

AMQPConnectionDetails.discoverAMQP should try to read its parameters from a Camel properties. So if you set AMQP_SERVICE_HOST property, Camel will use that value.

I propose to follow Kubernetes service convention for properties. As as result the snippet above deployed into Kubernetes environment will work out of the box, as AMQP_SERVICE_HOST and AMQP_SERVICE_PORT will be provided by Kubernetes ENV variables.

You can still rely on the plain good old manual configuration, but this option will be especially interesting for convention-over-configuration freaks.
