Allow Camel context to run forever - spring

Question

I am using camel-spring jar for springCamelContext. When I start the camel context , it run for 5 minutes (Default time). I can make my thread sleep for some specific time i.e.
try {
camelContext.start();
Thread.sleep(50 * 60 * 1000);
camelContext.stop();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
BUT I want is my camelContext to run FOREVER because this application is going to be deployed and It will be listening for messages from KAFKA server. I know there is a class
org.apache.camel.spring.Main
But I don't know how to configure it with springCamelContext or not sure if there any other way. Thanks
Update : Even If I remove camelContext.stop() , context is stopped after sometime and I get following logs :
[Thread-1] INFO org.apache.camel.spring.SpringCamelContext - Apache Camel 2.17.2 (CamelContext: camel-1) is shutting down

Here is a minimal example which runs forever and only copies files from one folder to another:
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.main.Main;
public class FileWriteRoute {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Main main = new Main();
main.addRouteBuilder(new RouteBuilder() {
public void configure() {
from("file://D:/dev/playground/camel-activemq/src/data")
.to("file://D:/dev/playground/camel-activemq/src/data_out");
}
});
main.run();
}
}

Of if you have your Route defined in a class try:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Main main = new Main();
CamelContext context = main.getOrCreateCamelContext();
try {
context.addRoutes(new YOURROUTECLASS());
context.start();
main.run();
}
catch (Exception e){
