-== `@SpringExtensionConfig`
-
-`@SpringExtensionConfig` is a type-level annotation that can be used to configure the
-behavior of the `SpringExtension`.
-
-As of Spring Framework 7.0, the `SpringExtension` is configured to use a test-method
-scoped `ExtensionContext`, which enables consistent dependency injection into fields and
-constructors from the `ApplicationContext` for the current test method in a `@Nested`
-test class hierarchy. However, if a third-party `TestExecutionListener` is not compatible
-with the semantics associated with a test-method scoped extension context — or if a
-developer wishes to switch to test-class scoped semantics — the `SpringExtension` can be
-configured to use a test-class scoped `ExtensionContext` by annotating a top-level test
-class with `@SpringExtensionConfig(useTestClassScopedExtensionContext = true)`.
-
-Alternatively, you can change the global default by setting the
-`spring.test.extension.context.scope` property to `test_class`. The property is resolved
-first via the xref:appendix.adoc#appendix-spring-properties[`SpringProperties`] mechanism
-which also supports JVM system properties — for example,
-`-Dspring.test.extension.context.scope=test_class`. If the Spring property has not been
-set, the `SpringExtension` will attempt to resolve the property as a
-https://docs.junit.org/current/running-tests/configuration-parameters.html[JUnit Platform configuration parameter]
-as a fallback mechanism. If the property has not been set via either of those mechanisms,
-the `SpringExtension` will use a test-method scoped extension context by default. Note,
-however, that a `@SpringExtensionConfig` declaration always takes precedence over this
-property.
-
-[TIP]
-====
-If a test class uses JUnit Jupiter's `@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)` semantics, the
-`SpringExtension` will always use a test-class scoped `ExtensionContext`, and
-configuration via `@SpringExtensionConfig(useTestClassScopedExtensionContext = true)` or
-the `spring.test.extension.context.scope` property will have no effect for that test
-class.
-====
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-This annotation is currently only applicable to `@Nested` test class hierarchies and
-should be applied to the top-level enclosing class of a `@Nested` test class hierarchy.
-Consequently, there is no need to declare this annotation on a test class that does not
-contain `@Nested` test classes.

-In addition,
-xref:testing/annotations/integration-junit-jupiter.adoc#integration-testing-annotations-nestedtestconfiguration[`@NestedTestConfiguration`]

-Beginning with Spring Framework 7.1, the TestContext framework will reliably detect
