I'm importing a Spring Boot Starter in my project because it contains a class I would like to use but I don't want auto configuration to run. I can see in the starter that there is a META-INF/spring.factories file which has both auto configurations as well as application listeners defined.
# Auto Configurations
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=\
org.demo.SomeAutoConfiguration,\
org.demo.AnotherAutoConfiguration
# Application Listeners
org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener=\
org.demo.SomeApplicationListener,\
org.demo.AnotherApplicationListener
I've figured out how to exclude specific classes from auto configuration and this works great.
@SpringBootApplication(exclude={SomeAutoConfiguration.class, AnotherAutoConfiguration.class})
Now I can't seem to figure out how to exclude one or more of these application listeners. Any ideas?
