/**
 * Configures component scanning directives for use with @{@link Configuration} classes.
 * Provides support parallel with Spring XML's {@code } element.
 *
 * One of {@link #basePackageClasses()}, {@link #basePackages()} or its alias
 * {@link #value()} may be specified to define specific packages to scan.  If specific
 * packages are not defined scanning will occur from the package of the
 * class with this annotation.
 *
 * 
Note that the {@code } element has an
 * {@code annotation-config} attribute, however this annotation does not. This is because
 * in almost all cases when using {@code @ComponentScan}, default annotation config
 * processing (e.g. processing {@code @Autowired} and friends) is assumed. Furthermore,
 * when using {@link AnnotationConfigApplicationContext}, annotation config processors are
 * always registered, meaning that any attempt to disable them at the
 * {@code @ComponentScan} level would be ignored.
 *
 * See @{@link Configuration}'s javadoc for usage examples.
