60 Fuse IDE Pro Visual Designer for Camel routes Visual Live Monitoring (for debugging, browsing, tracing) Vice versa Editing (code generation vs. coding by-hand) Just a simple Eclipse-Plugin Just Camel Intuitive GUI Export of route diagrams JUnit Test Wizard (generates scaffolding for tests) Contra Proprietary Subscription required Only XML DSL (this is not really a contra, because only Camel offers other DSLs) Seite 60

61 Talend Open Studio for ESB Seite 61

62 Talend Open Studio for ESB Pro Visual Designer for Camel routes Visual Live Monitoring Open Source (at github) Community Edition (not all features) Zero Coding Contra Zero Coding Only Java DSL (plus a lot of boilerplate code) No vice versa code editing (only code generation) No intuitive user interface => no simple Eclipse plugin => based on Eclipse, but it is more an own product (1GB) => full ESB only Seite 62
