I’m evaluating Apache Camel for use on a client project, but we need to back it on to RabbitMQ. The AMQP component that comes with Camel is based on the Qpid 0.5.0 client which does not work too well with Rabbit, so this seemed a good excuse to experiment with custom Camel components.

There’s a first pass on GitHub for anyone who wants to play. Note the phrase “first pass” and that the Limitations section of the README file is longer than the Usage one.
