</properties>Importing beans from dependencies
When project dependencies contain beans but don’t contain the Micronaut bean definitions the @Import annotation can
be used to import those beans and allow them to be injected in the Micronaut application context. Since this annotation
is handled by an annotation processor which can’t list the available packages each package must be defined in the
@Import annotation which can be cumbersome.
This plugin is able to generate a Micronaut bean factory which imports the beans from the dependencies. The list of packages from which the beans are imported can be controlled by filtering the dependencies and the packages using regular expressions.
In order to import beans from the dependencies the minimal thing to do is to enable the import factory:
It is however recommended to define a filter for the dependencies and for the packages:

<micronaut.importfactory.enabled>true</micronaut.importfactory.enabled>
<micronaut.importfactory.includeDependenciesFilter>my.company:.*</micronaut.importfactory.includeDependenciesFilter>
<micronaut.importfactory.excludeDependenciesFilter>my.company:exclude-this.*</micronaut.importfactory.excludeDependenciesFilter>
<micronaut.importfactory.includePackagesFilter>my.company.library.*</micronaut.importfactory.includePackagesFilter>
<micronaut.importfactory.excludePackagesFilter>my.company.library.internal.*</micronaut.importfactory.excludePackagesFilter>
<micronaut.importfactory.targetPackage>my.company.application</micronaut.importfactory.targetPackage>
