@carlosthe19916 are you working on this one?

[carlosthe19916]

@ppalaga I'd like to contribute in some way and I'm really curious about using Quakus and Freemarker in personal projects. I'm not sure if I will achieve the goal of adding a new extension but I'd like to give it a try.

[ppalaga]

@carlosthe19916 new extensions are welcome! You may find https://camel.apache.org/camel-quarkus/latest/contributor-guide.html useful.

[ppalaga]

@carlosthe19916 are you still interested to look into this?

[carlosthe19916]

@ppalaga My apologies for not updating this Issue before. I'm still interested in this for sure. Thb, I've created my very basic version of Native Freemarker extension here https://github.com/project-openubl/xml-builder/blob/master/extensions/freemarker/deployment/src/main/java/org/openublpe/quarkus/freemarker/deployment/FreemarkerProcessor.java. I'm not sure how much different could be using camel

[carlosthe19916]

@ppalaga Here I've just created a very basic first draft for the camel-freemarker extension. But I still need to enhance the code https://github.com/carlosthe19916/camel-quarkus/tree/camel-freemarker

[ppalaga]

@carlosthe19916 tanks for the effort! If you want an early feedback, please feel free to send a draft pull request https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/

A JVM-only extension (without a proper test) is underway.

[vsevel]

is there any plan to offer freemarker as a quarkus extension (independently from camel), and get the camel-quarkus to depend on it?
this would be useful for people interested in quarkus+freemarker, and not necessarily in camel.

This would indeed make sense and we'd be eventually ready to depend on such a generic Freemarker extension. I think the Freemarker project would be the best place for this effort. Any help to drive that effort is welcome.

or the quarkus project itself. that is where almost all of the extensions are developed.

A Quarkus dependency would be easier maintain for us. Anybody please feel free to propose it in Quarkus or in Freemarker.

@ppalaga we have a need for a freemarker extension on our project. if time and energy we may develop the extension, starting from https://github.com/carlosthe19916/camel-quarkus/tree/camel-freemarker, then we will see if the quarkus team is interested. I am not sure yet we have this capacity, but it is definitely a possibility.

[zhfeng]

@vsevel so we can leverage the https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkiverse-freemarker now ?

[vsevel]

@zhfeng 0.0.4 should provide a good first version to start playing with. it is the bare minimum. from this original issue, I just did not migrate over the filtering capabilities (include/exclude).
for now I included the doc in the project itself https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkiverse-freemarker/blob/master/doc/freemarker.adoc, waiting for quarkusio/quarkus#12526
I will have minimal bandwidth to make evolutions, but PR are welcome.
