ImportSelector (Spring Framework 4.3.30.RELEASE API)

All Known Subinterfaces:
DeferredImportSelector
All Known Implementing Classes:
AdviceModeImportSelector, AsyncConfigurationSelector, CachingConfigurationSelector, TransactionManagementConfigurationSelector
```
public interface ImportSelector
```
Interface to be implemented by types that determine which @Configuration class(es) should be imported based on a given selection criteria, usually one or more annotation attributes.
An ImportSelector may implement any of the following Aware interfaces, and their respective methods will be called prior to selectImports(org.springframework.core.type.AnnotationMetadata):
ImportSelector implementations are usually processed in the same way as regular @Import annotations, however, it is also possible to defer selection of imports until all @Configuration classes have been processed (see DeferredImportSelector for details).
