public @interface Import
@Configuration classes to import.
Provides functionality equivalent to the <import/> element in Spring XML.
Allows for importing @Configuration classes, ImportSelector and
ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar implementations, as well as regular component
classes (as of 4.2; analogous to AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.register(java.lang.Class<?>...)).
@Bean definitions declared in imported @Configuration classes should be
accessed by using @Autowired
injection. Either the bean itself can be autowired, or the configuration class instance
declaring the bean can be autowired. The latter approach allows for explicit, IDE-friendly
navigation between @Configuration class methods.
May be declared at the class level or as a meta-annotation.
If XML or other non-@Configuration bean definition resources need to be
imported, use the @ImportResource annotation instead.
