Be on the latest Spring Boot

Don't use `boot` for a package name that contains auto-config, instead used `autoconfigure`

Unusual to prefix classes with `SpringBoot`

Try to avoid using enabling flags to control bean creation. If you need to control whether a bean needs to be created use an additional or different kind of condition that can be detected.

## Configuration properties
Make sure you use the configuration metadata annotation processor and add appropriate docs to your config properties (to provide automatic tool support for your starter)

Make sure your config property keys are too long and unwieldy - consider that they'll be used in the right context, so don't have to necessarily be totally descriptive for isolated use.

Make sure the property types are right, as Spring Boot will often give you lots of nice built in support (e.g. use `java.util.Duration` rather than `int`)

Field javadoc in a `@Configurationproperties` object should not use javadoc tags.
