Do I need *********ApplicationContext classes if I want to develop using annotations only?

Its possible to create the context these ways:

But I dont wanna use xml configurtions in my projects at all. I like annotations. So do I still need to select 1)...3) or just use annotations like

Or even I gonna use SpringBoot, there is @SpringBootApplication

a is a convenience annotation that adds all of the following:

@Configuration tags the class as a source of bean definitions for the application context. @EnableAutoConfiguration tells Spring Boot to start adding beans based on classpath settings, other beans, and various property settings. Normally you would add @EnableWebMvc for a Spring MVC app, but Spring Boot adds it automatically when it sees spring-webmvc on the classpath. This flags the application as a web application and activates key behaviors such as setting up a DispatcherServlet.

@ComponentScan tells Spring to look for other components, configurations, and services in the package, allowing it to find the controllers.

So back to my question: Do I still need the *********ApplicationContext stuff in my projects or not?

If you use Spring Boot you should create the context like this:

@SpringBootApplication
public class TestApplication {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(TestApplication.class);
    app.run(args);
}
}

Method run here create the context for your application.
