The "spring-boot-autoconfigure" module should provide configuration metadata

[zoobert]

Spring provides an annotation processor that can generate a spring-configuration-metadata.json. This descriptive file contains the necessary information for interaction with the configuration properties that IDEs can leverage to provide autocompletion and other configuration hints.

This file can automatically be generated by the spring-boot-configuration-processor during the build process. It serves a different purpose than the existing spring-boot-autoconfigure-processor, but is just as helpful.

Adding the following line to the build.gradle.kts should generate the file that can be distributed with the library. This file is generated for official spring boot dependencies.

  annotationProcessor("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor:$springBootVersion")
