Hi @davsclaus , thank you for the review. I have updated the PR to include the ASF license header and fixed the indentation of the route to respect the EIP patterns as requested. I've also verified the fix again with mvn camel:run. |

This PR refactors the java-lambda example by moving the MyRouteBuilder inner class from MyApplication.java into its own standalone file, MyRouteBuilder.java.
The Problem:
Previously, MyRouteBuilder was defined as a package-private inner class. While mvn clean install passed (compilation was successful), running the example via mvn camel:run triggered a java.lang.IllegalAccessException.
This occurred because Apache Camel’s ObjectHelper uses reflection to instantiate routes. In modern Java runtimes (Java 17+), reflection-based access to non-public inner classes from a different package is restricted.
The Fix:
Created MyRouteBuilder.java as a public standalone class.
Removed the nested MyRouteBuilder class from MyApplication.java.
Verified that mvn camel:run now starts the Camel context successfully without reflection errors.
