             Summary: provide an endpoint path completion API so that we can complete endpoint paths (e.g. directory names, queue names, database table names) inside Karaf commands, IDEs or web consoles
                 Key: CAMEL-6391
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6391
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: james strachan
            Assignee: james strachan


We've got the ComponentConfiguration API which is pretty cool for figuring out what parameters are available on an endpoint; but there's no help for completing the main name/path text of an endpoint. Most endpoints have a main 'path' string once you take away things like user/host/port or whatever parameters there are. 

e.g. name of queue / name of database table / directory/path for file/ftp/scp, name of hadoop file or whatever.

Rather like the Completer APIs in Karaf commands, it'd be nice if we had a little API so Component implementors can implement a simple method in EndpointCompleter to expose completions for UIs/tools/shell.s 

Think of it as like bash completion but for endpoint names/paths.

e.g. imagine a command where you want to create or send to an endpoint; picking the component name, you then need to be able to pick which queue/directory/table to use.

This patch adds a simple API to the ComponentConfiguration API and to the MBean
