[jira] [Created] (CAMEL-14934) Improve Component, Language, Data format, etc. descriptions in Camel Catalog

Peter Palaga created CAMEL-14934:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve Component, Language, Data format, etc. descriptions in Camel Catalog
                 Key: CAMEL-14934
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-14934
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Peter Palaga
            Assignee: Peter Palaga


The descriptions of components, languages, data formats, etc. in Camel catalog currently use several inconsistent styles. As agreed on camel-dev https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@camel.apache.org/msg50591.html we should try to stick to a common style characterized by the following rules:

(i) Shorter is better. Less/shorter words are faster to read and faster to understand
(ii) An application of (i): Leave out words and information available elsewhere in the Catalog record. Esp. do not repeat the title and kind (component, language, ...) because they are clear from the context. The same holds for the word "Camel".
(iii) Concentrate on functionality (what it does), because that's what most users want to know; preferably start with a verb in the plain (imperative) form

Example:

old: JacksonXML data format is used for unmarshal a XML payload to POJO or to marshal POJO back to XML payload.

new: Unmarshal an XML payload to POJO or marshal a POJO back to XML.
