Using OpenTelemetry instrumentation via Spring Boot starter and OpenTelemetry2

[beskow]

Description

Document how to configure and use opentelemetry-spring-boot-starter as an alternative to the OpenTelemetry agent (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23343).

Target

• I checked that the commit is targeting the correct branch (Camel 4 uses the main branch)

Tracking

• If this is a large change, bug fix, or code improvement, I checked there is a JIRA issue filed for the change (usually before you start working on it).

Apache Camel coding standards and style

• I checked that each commit in the pull request has a meaningful subject line and body.

• I have run mvn clean install -DskipTests locally from root folder and I have committed all auto-generated changes.

LGTM, just a minor note would be required for compatibility reasons.

[squakez]

Probably you want to set here a version compatible with the Opentelemetry dependencies that are used within a given Camel version used. We should add a note.

[beskow]

Good point, I'll have added that!

[squakez]

Thanks, but I think that note is not enough. I'm adding a comment inline to show how I think it should be. Feel free to accept the inline change if you want.

[beskow]

Sure! I had added the same info in the paragraph above, but it might be more clear the way you suggested. Now applied, thanks!
