If the project containing your route is a Maven project, you can use the m2e plug-in to run your route. Using this option, you can execute any Maven goals, before the route runs.
To run a route using Maven:
In Project Explorer, select the root of the project .
Right-click it to open the context menu, and then select > .
The first time you run the project using Maven, the Edit Configuration and launch editor opens, so you can create a Maven runtime profile.
To create the runtime profile, on the tab:
Make sure the route directory of your Apache Camel project appears in the Base directory: field.
For example on Linux the root of your project will be similar to
~/workspace/simple-router.In the Goals: field, enter
camel:run.![[Important]](imagesdb/important.png)
Important If you created your project using the Java DSL, enter
exec:javain the Goals: field.Click and then .
Subsequent Maven runs use this profile, unless you modify it between runs.
