Please refer to the above link for usage and configuration details.

Maven coordinates

Create a new project with this extension on code.quarkus.io

Or add the coordinates to your existing project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-quarkus-avro</artifactId>
</dependency>

Check the User guide for more information about writing Camel Quarkus applications.

Additional Camel Quarkus configuration

Beyond standard usages known from vanilla Camel, Camel Quarkus adds the possibility to parse the Avro schema at build time both in JVM and Native mode.

The approach to generate Avro classes from Avro schema files is the one coined by the quarkus-avro extension. It requires the following:

  1. Store *.avsc files in a folder named src/main/avro or src/test/avro

  2. In addition to the usual build goal of quarkus-maven-plugin, add the generate-code goal:

    <plugin>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>generate-code-and-build</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>generate-code</goal>
                <goal>build</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Please see a working configuration in Camel Quarkus Avro integration test and Quarkus Avro integration test.
