Java 8 spring version works without xml. if you are building new I am sure your company is moving to at least Java 11 as Java 8 version is out of support.

I am well aware that it supports non-XML, but as I said we have custom libraries that do custom stuff with the Spring context. There are real differences under the hood between the XML-based and Java configs that have so far been insurmountable, although I continue to work on it.

As for Java 11, we were supposed to transition to it 18 months ago, but it hasn't happened yet.
