Description

Hi all

the camel-spring-batch component does only depend on spring-batch (by pom.xml) but in the karaf features.xml it is said that it depends on camel-spring (which is not correct but in test).

 <feature name='camel-spring-batch' version='${project.version}' resolver='(obr)' start-level='50'>
    <bundle dependency='true'>mvn:org.apache.geronimo.specs/geronimo-jms_1.1_spec/${geronimo-jms-spec-version}</bundle>
    <bundle dependency='true'>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.spring-batch-core/${spring-batch-bundle-version}</bundle>
    <bundle dependency='true'>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.spring-batch-infrastructure/${spring-batch-bundle-version}</bundle>
    <feature version='${project.version}'>camel-spring</feature>
    <bundle>mvn:org.apache.camel/camel-spring-batch/${project.version}</bundle>
  </feature>

So this has a very downside, that drags the deprecated sprin-dm and impossible to run anythign on spring higher than 3.2. And the spring-batch version used by camel (2.16.2 needs spring-batch 3.0.4, that depends on spring 4, which is blocked by adding spring-camel), result, jar hell, and unable to read the XML Namespace errors.

Good this is: removing the dependency of camel-spring and adding spring directly, solves the issue and can run spring-batch in any upper version correctly.

thanks!
