Add Kotlin Symbol Processor for auto configuration

[bespaltovyj]

KSP issue - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/28046 I made a draft in which I added support for ksp. I have a few questions:

1. Сan I use kotlin?
2. Do I need to create a separate gradle module for ksp?
3. Is there a description of the spring-autoconfigure-metadata.properies file somewhere? The result of processing java annotations is slightly different from the results of ksp and it is unclear whether these differences affect something.

If you tell me what fixes are needed now, then after that I will start doing ksp support for spring-boot-configuration-processor

Thanks for opening this, @bespaltovyj. I haven't yet looked closely at what will be required to support KSP, but I had imagined that we would refactor the existing logic so that it can be called from either a Kotlin symbol processor or a Java annotation processor. Compared to duplicating the logic, this should make it easier to achieve consistent behaviour across the two processors particularly in the case of the @ConfigurationProperties processing which is quite complex. I would also prefer that we try to use Java as much as possible.

Ok, I'll try to combine KSP and annotation processing in Java.

@bespaltovyj thanks for working on this. Do you know if there is still anything missing here, besides you signing the "Contributor License Agreement"?

[bespaltovyj]

@cd-ff I don't understand what you mean. Can add more details?

[wilkinsona]

@bespaltovyj I believe @cd-ff was referring to the earlier request to sign the CLA.

I resign CLA yesterday

What would be required to allow this feature to be implemented, are there changes that need to be made or just tests that need to be fixed / need to work?

Any updates?

We chatted about this today and I'm afraid that we decided that we don't think this is something that we'll be able to merge. Sorry. We need to take a step back, consider our options for #28046 and decide how we want to tackle KSP support in general.
