Spring Scanner annotation not working in plugin

Question

Hello, I got a problem with Spring Scanner(SS) annotation when tried to finish Jira custom mail handler plugin tutorial. I need to add <component> element to atlassian-plugin.xml but according to error:

[ERROR] atlassian-plugin.xml contains a definition of component. This is not allowed when Atlassian-Plugin-Key is set.

I must use SS annotation for component injection. I upgraded my SS module from 1.2.13 to 2.0.x from here but problem with component still exists:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.1:compile (default-compile) on project mail-handler-demo: Compilation failure
[ERROR] /C:/Users/Administrator/Jira/new_jira/mail-handler-demo1/src/main/java/com/example/plugins/tutorial/jira/mailhandlerdemo/IssueKeyValidator.java:[8,2] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol: class Component
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

Here are attached main plugin files (log, xml + descriptor and class file with annotation).

I'm using Atlassian SDK 6.14 to create plugin with atlas-create-jira-plugin command.

Java_Home is ok - pointing on jdk 1.8.x

Jira v7.2.2

Any suggestions? This looks pretty strange...

Waiting for responses or questions.

With respect,

Alex.

Thank you for answer. My problem was not in tag (i removed it in the beging of project) but in @Component annotation. I needed to add Springframework dependency to use @Component. org.springframework spring-context 4.3.9.RELEASE provided With this dependency I can use class import in my java class: import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

If you are using spring scanner you can not have <component> tag in atlassian-plugin.xml.

This could be of great help.
