Answer 1

You miss the activemq-camel feature.
Log into karaf and issue the following commands:
For Karaf 2.3.x:
> features:chooseurl activemq
> features:install activemq-camel
For Karaf 3.0.x:
karaf#root()> feature:repo-add activemq
karaf#root()> feature:install activemq-camel
The activemq-camel feature will also install activemq-client & camel-jms.
You may need to provide a specific version number in the repository command depending on what versioning information is embedded in your bundle. E.g.:
karaf#root()> feature:repo-add activemq 5.10.0

Answer 2

This camel-activemq project is an upstream archetype you can use it for your quick starter of camel.
To use it in karaf, you need to add the bundle manifest.
first need to change the packing to bundle,
<packaging>bundle</packaging>
then add this part
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.7</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<Bundle-SymbolicName>camel-activemq</Bundle-SymbolicName>
<Import-Package>*,org.apache.activemq.camel.component</Import-Package>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>
