Micronaut ApplicationContext creation for package

In Spring, it is easy to create ApplicationContext that uses only classes defined in a given package. How to achieve that in Micronaut?

I write:

ApplicationContext context =
    ApplicationContext.builder()
        .args(args)
        .packages("org.kalamity.server")
        .start();

context.getBean(MessageEventListener.class);

But beans from foreign packages are created and injected. I know, that Micronaut works on compile time, so it might be completely impossible.

When looking into io.micronaut.context.DefaultApplicationContextBuilder#build, we'll find this:

if (!packages.isEmpty()) {
    for (String aPackage : packages) {
        environment.addPackage(aPackage);
    }
}

Doc for Environment#addPackage says:

Add an application package. Application packages are candidates for scanning for tools that need it (such as JPA or GORM). Params: pkg – The package to add Returns: This environment

Hence, I believe it's not possible to limit context using a list of packages like in the question with Micronaut out-of-the-box.

However, you may use @Requires annotation to load parts of the context. https://docs.micronaut.io/latest/guide/#conditionalBeans
