import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jms.JmsAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jmx.JmxAutoConfiguration;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.FilterType;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.example" },
    excludeFilters = @ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.ASPECTJ, pattern = "com.example.ignore.*"))
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}
