Regarding including config properties of spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 jar

[sandhya-mane-acn]

I am trying to generate a document using spring-configuration-property-documenter (generateAndAggregateDocuments) for my springboot multimodule project. I want document to be generated with project specific dependencies plus some standard like spring-boot or spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4.
I am able to include properties from spring-boot but not able to add for spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4.
I tried many ways to include spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 but failed.

Is it restricted? If yes why? Which other are restricted?
If no how to include spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 config properties in document?

Hello there, if you can provide a reproducer that would be cool :)

Code :-
tasks.register('generatePropertiesDescription') {
dependsOn generateAndAggregateDocuments {
documentName = "APS Configuration properties" // (6)
def currentProject = new AggregationInput()
currentProject.name = project.name
currentProject.input = project.projectDir
metadataInputs.add(currentProject)

    configurations.compileClasspath
            .resolvedConfiguration
            .resolvedArtifacts.each { artifact ->
        def file = artifact.file
        if (file != null && file.name.endsWith('.jar')) {
            println "Jar file in list ${file.name}"
            def jar = new java.util.jar.JarFile(file)
            def entry = jar.getEntry('META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json')
            if (entry != null) {
                println "✅ Found in dependency ${file.name}"
                def input2 = new AggregationInput()
                input2.name = file.name
                input2.input = file
                metadataInputs.add(input2)
             } else {
                println "❌ Not found in ${file.name}"
            }
            jar.close()
        }
    }

    documentDescription = "This is a document about the configuration properties in my application"
    type = "MARKDOWN" // (7)
    outputFile = file("build/config-prop.md") // (9)
   markdownCustomization { // (10)
        contentCustomization {
            includeEnvFormat = true
        }
        unknownGroupLocalization = "Renamed unknown group"
        //includedGroups = ["spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4"]
    }
}

}

tasks.named("build") {
dependsOn("generatePropertiesDescription")
}

Here in project we are using multiple jar or libs. In metadata some of them are adding using above code base. In that jar list one of the entry is of spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 which i can see getting added to metadatinput but in end result [combined document] there is no any entry for it.

Even i tried adding it explicitly like below but still its not showing in document metadataInputs { //(9)
metadata {
name = "spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 - Include Groups and Lists"
description = "spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4 related properties with inclusions"
input = file(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4.jar")
//input = file(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-autoconfigure/3.4.4/5ebc8c0682374768ee6eac9acf12f41e76762207/spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.4.4.jar")
//includedProperties = ["server.port"] //(13)
//includedGroups = ["Unknown group"]
}
}

My question is, is this jar restricted which generating document ? If yes why?
What is workaround to include it in final doc?

Any suggestions?
