> Hi,
> I have a hard-time understanding how and why to use the new 3.4.x starters vs individual components, but this is what the documentation suggests.
> I have a hard time because they bring unnecessary JAR's which I have now to manage in pom.xml via exclusions.
> For example:
> {code:java}
> <!-- Camel -->
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-support</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-jsonpath-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-jackson-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-jaxb-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-metrics-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-soap-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>
>  <dependency>
>  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
>  <artifactId>camel-disruptor-starter</artifactId>
>  </dependency>{code}

> Each of these starters now bring me the _spring-boot-starter-logging_ which I don't need as I'm using Log4J2 for this. As a result I have now both _log4J2_ and _logback_ in my classpath. Obviously I can add exclusions but then what's the point of the starters?
> Unless there's something subtle which I don't understand yet, I find the starters to be really targeting the lazy; I fail to see why is not enough to add _camel-spring-boot-starter_ for the purpose of having Spring Boot and next just add the regular Apache Camel's components?
> Ok, if starters will remain, is it ok then to ignore them and simply add the regular Camel components to avoid this extra work? Can this be documented?
>  
> Thank you
