I had been using springframework version 5.0.2.RELEASE so far. But recently, i switched to newer version 5.0.4.RELEASE. However, after this switch of JARs, @Configuration annotation is not recognized as predefined annotation in my project. Eclipse is asking me if i would like to create it. Is there any change in 5.0.4.REL version of springframework, which would stop recognizing the @Configuration annotation?

Error while using the @Configuration annotation :
With mere change of modifying the springframework version in my POM file from 5.0.4.REL to 5.0.2.REL, my eclipse project starts to recognize the @Configuration annotation.
