Exclude groovy.lang.MetaClass type from configuration annotation processor

[dmurat]

I have a simple Groovy Gradle project here: https://github.com/dmurat/config-annotation-processor-demo . It uses Groovy and Java classes annotated with @ConfigurationProperties. My issue is that for Groovy class annotation processor emits properties of groovy.lang.MetaClass type which is not really usefull.

I will like if groovy.lang.MetaClass can be included in a list of exclusions in org.springframework.boot.configurationprocessor.TypeExcludeFilter.

In a project mentioned above, it can be seen how metadata generation works with modifed TypeExcludeFilter. To get original behavior it is enough to switch the comments on annotationProcessor dependency in build.gradle.

Spring Boot version used is 2.1.4.RELEASE.

Tnx

I noticed that this is scheduled for 2.2.x. Can you, please, consider it for 2.1.x too?

Tnx

It feels safe enough to consider in 2.1.x
