Chapter 6. Generating a catalog

6.1. Overview
Copy link

By default, every Kaoto release includes the latest Camel version available at the moment of the build, nevertheless, generating a different set of catalogs is possible.

6.2. Catalog generator CLI
Copy link

Kaoto provides a Camel catalog generator CLI to ease this process, it supports the following runtimes:

  1. Main
  2. Quarkus
  3. Springboot

6.2.1. Using Camel catalog
Copy link

  1. Clone the Kaoto project
  2. Navigate to the packages/catalog-generator directory

  3. Install the project dependencies: 

    ./mvnw install
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Run the project with the following command: 

    ./mvnw package; java -jar ./target/catalog-generator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -o ./dist/camel-catalog -k 4.6.0 -m 4.6.0 -n "My Catalog"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. This will generate a Catalog library containing:

    1. Camel Main 4.6.0
    2. Camel Kamelets 4.6.0
  6. The resulting files will be in the packages/catalog-generator/dist/camel-catalog folder
  7. Providing that folder through a http server will make it available for using it in Kaoto

  1. In order to add multiple runtimes to the Catalog library, we can provide each runtime with its version using the following flags: 

     -m,--main <version>               Camel Main version. If not specified,
                                   it will use the generator installed
                                   version
 -q,--quarkus <version>            Camel Extensions for Quarkus version
 -s,--springboot <version>         Camel SpringBoot version
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. For instance, running the following command will create a Catalog library with Camel Main 4.6.0 and Camel extensions for Quarkus 3.8.0: 

    ./mvnw package; java -jar ./target/catalog-generator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -o ./dist/camel-catalog -k 4.6.0 -m 4.6.0 -q 3.8.0 -n "My Catalog"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. For a different Kamelets catalog version, the --kamelets or -k flag can be specified. 

    ./mvnw package; java -jar ./target/catalog-generator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -o ./dist/camel-catalog -k 4.5.0 -m 4.6.0  -n "My Catalog"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  1. In VSCode, go to the settings page and look for “Kaoto”

  2. In the TextField, provide the URL of the index.json file that specifies the location of the subsequent catalogs, for instance, the public Kaoto catalog can be used:

    setting kaoto catalog url
    View larger image
    setting kaoto catalog url

  3. Restart Kaoto for the changes to have effect
