using embedded amqp swith spring boot and camel - spring-boot

Question

I want to integration test a custom camel component and therefor need an embedded/in memory messanging I can easily use to test from/to endpoints.
I am hoping that I can achieve this via spring-boot-amqp-starter.
I used this example for a start, which has the dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-activemq</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-broker</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
and the config:
spring:
activemq:
broker-url: vm://embedded?broker.persistent=false,useShutdownHook=false
// ...
This is working, when I use regular Listener annotations in spring, I have a sender using the template and a consumer logging the messages.
Now I go one step further and use camel, but it does not recognize the vm:embedded broker but tries to connect to tcp://localhost, which is not running.
return new RouteBuilder() {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("activemq:foo").to("log:sample");
from("timer:bar").setBody(constant("Hello from Camel")).to("activemq:foo");
}
};
How can I configure activemq-camel to use the embedded broker?
Update:
I use dependency management imports for spring-boot-dependencies (1.5.9)
and camel-spring-boot-dependencies (2.20.1).

This has been fixed in newer versions of activemq-camel when you use that with Spring Boot. Now the activemq-camel component will honor the spring boot configuration of the spring.activemq.* settings.
