Is Apache Camel a transitive dependency of Spring or other Java-based open source projects?

Apache Camel is not a default transitive dependency of Spring or most Java-based projects. However, certain libraries and Spring Boot 'starters' do include Camel, meaning it can appear in your dependency chain if you (or a library you use) explicitly pull in a Camel-related module. In other words, Camel only becomes a transitive dependency if you or another library in your project explicitly brings it in.

Can I get Apache Camel security patches anywhere else?

No. Once Apache Camel versions reach end-of-life (EOL), they no longer receive updates from the Camel community. HeroDevs’ Apache Camel NES is the only long-term security solution, providing security patches, compliance assurances, and dedicated expert support for EOL versions.

What happens now that Apache Camel is end-of-life?

If your application relies on EOL Apache Camel versions, it will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates from the open-source community. This poses security, stability, and compliance risks. With Apache Camel NES, you can continue using your current Camel version safely and securely.

How hard is it to switch to Apache Camel NES?

Switching to Apache Camel NES is seamless and requires no major changes. Installation involves updating your build dependencies to point to HeroDevs' secure private repository, ensuring immediate security patches for EOL Camel versions.

How does Apache Camel NES compare to rebuilding with modern tooling?

Rebuilding or upgrading to newer Camel versions is typically 4-8x more expensive, requires 6-12 months of development time, and may disrupt integrations. Apache Camel NES provides immediate security while allowing you to plan migrations strategically.

What happens if we do nothing now that Apache Camel is end-of-life?

Without security patches, your applications face increasing vulnerabilities, risking data breaches and non-compliance. As new exploits emerge, your software becomes increasingly exposed to threats.

Should I migrate away from Apache Camel?

Migration depends on your organization's long-term plans. If you are not ready for a major migration, Apache Camel NES provides ongoing security patches and compliance assurances, giving you the flexibility to modernize when the time is right.

What are the benefits of using Apache Camel NES?

Apache Camel NES ensures enterprise security patching, compliance readiness, application stability, drop-in replacement without code refactoring, and dedicated expert support. It provides peace of mind while allowing your organization to plan future migrations without immediate pressure.
