Apache camel: connecting to a ZeroMQ server

Question

I’m trying to connect to a ZeroMQ server using apache camel. I’m using the camel-zeromq component provided by the camel-extra project, but seems that this requires the previous installation of the native ZeroMQ library on the system.

Does someone know a way of using the camel-zeromq component, i.e. without a need to install these native libraries?

I suppose that this is hardly possible.

If that’s the case:

Is it possible to add somehow these libraries to the project in order to avoid installing them directly on the system?

Another drawback that I see to the camel component is that it doesn’t seem to have been updated too often. I already have connected a client to the server using the jeromq libraries. Does somebody know a way of creating a camel route that uses these libraries?

I would appreciate if someone can enlighten me with some advice. I’m kind of stuck, trying to figure out the best approach to solve this problem I face.

You can always build your own component around jeromq in you want, it's not that hard ! — Jérémie B, Mar 02 '16 at 19:13
That's true, it's not that hard! I already have built my own component. Thanks for the advice. — Julen, Mar 04 '16 at 10:10

I had success by excluding the ZeroMQ Scala binding library from camel-zeromq and including jeromq in my pom.xml.

Like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache-extras.camel-extra</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-zeromq</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.zeromq</groupId>
            <artifactId>zeromq-scala-binding_2.10</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.zeromq</groupId>
    <artifactId>jeromq</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.5</version>
</dependency>
