/**
* Indicates that a component is only eligible for registration when all
* {@linkplain #value specified conditions} match.
*
* A condition is any state that can be determined programmatically
* before the bean definition is due to be registered (see {@link Condition} for details).
*
*
The {@code @Conditional} annotation may be used in any of the following ways:
*
* - as a type-level annotation on any class directly or indirectly annotated with
* {@code @Component}, including {@link Configuration @Configuration} classes
* - as a meta-annotation, for the purpose of composing custom stereotype
* annotations
* - as a method-level annotation on any {@link Bean @Bean} method
*
*
* If a {@code @Configuration} class is marked with {@code @Conditional},
* all of the {@code @Bean} methods, {@link Import @Import} annotations, and
* {@link ComponentScan @ComponentScan} annotations associated with that
* class will be subject to the conditions.
*
*
NOTE: Inheritance of {@code @Conditional} annotations
* is not supported; any conditions from superclasses or from overridden
* methods will not be considered. In order to enforce these semantics,
* {@code @Conditional} itself is not declared as
* {@link java.lang.annotation.Inherited @Inherited}; furthermore, any
* custom composed annotation that is meta-annotated with
* {@code @Conditional} must not be declared as {@code @Inherited}.
