/**
* Enable auto-configuration of the Spring Application Context, attempting to guess and
* configure beans that you are likely to need. Auto-configuration classes are usually
* applied based on your classpath and what beans you have defined. For example, If you
* have {@code tomat-embedded.jar} on your classpath you are likely to want a
* {@link TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory} (unless you have defined your own
* {@link EmbeddedServletContainerFactory} bean).
*
* Auto-configuration tries to be as intelligent as possible and will back-away as you
* define more of your own configuration. You can always manually {@link #exclude()} any
* configuration that you never want to apply. Auto-configuration is always applied after
* user-defined beans have been registered.
*
* The package of the class that is annotated with {@code @EnableAutoConfiguration} has
* specific significance and is often used as a 'default'. For example, it will be used
* when scanning for {@code @Entity} classes. It is generally recommended that you place
* {@code @EnableAutoConfiguration} in a root package so that all sub-packages and classes
* can be searched.
*
* Auto-configuration classes are regular Spring {@link Configuration} beans. They are
* located using the {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} mechanism (keyed against this class).
* Generally auto-configuration beans are {@link Conditional @Conditional} beans (most
* often using {@link ConditionalOnClass @ConditionalOnClass} and
* {@link ConditionalOnMissingBean @ConditionalOnMissingBean} annotations).
