/**
 * {@code @TestPropertySource} is a class-level annotation that is used to
 * configure the {@link #locations} of properties files and inlined
 * {@link #properties} to be added to the {@code Environment}'s set of
 * {@code PropertySources} for an
 * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext ApplicationContext}
 * for integration tests.
 *
 * <h3>Precedence</h3>
 * <p>Test property sources have higher precedence than those loaded from the
 * operating system's environment or Java system properties as well as property
 * sources added by the application declaratively via
 * {@link org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource @PropertySource}
 * or programmatically (e.g., via an
 * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextInitializer ApplicationContextInitializer}
 * or some other means). Thus, test property sources can be used to selectively
 * override properties defined in system and application property sources.
 * Furthermore, inlined {@link #properties} have higher precedence than
 * properties loaded from resource {@link #locations}.
 *
 * <h3>Default Properties File Detection</h3>
 * <p>If {@code @TestPropertySource} is declared as an <em>empty</em> annotation
 * (i.e., without explicit values for {@link #locations} or {@link #properties}),
 * an attempt will be made to detect a <em>default</em> properties file relative
 * to the class that declared the annotation. For example, if the annotated test
 * class is {@code com.example.MyTest}, the corresponding default properties file
 * is {@code "classpath:com/example/MyTest.properties"}. If the default cannot be
 * detected, an {@link IllegalStateException} will be thrown.
 *
 * <h3>Enabling &#064;TestPropertySource</h3>
 * <p>{@code @TestPropertySource} is enabled if the configured
 * {@linkplain ContextConfiguration#loader context loader} honors it. Every
 * {@code SmartContextLoader} that is a subclass of either
 * {@link org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractGenericContextLoader AbstractGenericContextLoader} or
 * {@link org.springframework.test.context.web.AbstractGenericWebContextLoader AbstractGenericWebContextLoader}
 * provides automatic support for {@code @TestPropertySource}, and this includes
 * every {@code SmartContextLoader} provided by the Spring TestContext Framework.
 *
 * <h3>Miscellaneous</h3>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Typically, {@code @TestPropertySource} will be used in conjunction with
 * {@link ContextConfiguration @ContextConfiguration}.</li>
 * <li>This annotation may be used as a <em>meta-annotation</em> to create
 * custom <em>composed annotations</em>; however, caution should be taken if
 * this annotation and {@code @ContextConfiguration} are combined on a composed
 * annotation since the {@code locations} and {@code inheritLocations} attributes
 * of both annotations can lead to ambiguity during the attribute resolution
 * process.</li>
 * </ul>

	 * The resource locations of properties files to be loaded into the
	 * {@code Environment}'s set of {@code PropertySources}. Each location
	 * will be added to the enclosing {@code Environment} as its own property
	 * source, in the order declared.
	 *
	 * <h3>Supported File Formats</h3>
	 * <p>Both traditional and XML-based properties file formats are supported
	 * &mdash; for example, {@code "classpath:/com/example/test.properties"}
	 * or {@code "file:/path/to/file.xml"}.
	 *
	 * <h3>Path Resource Semantics</h3>
	 * <p>Each path will be interpreted as a Spring
	 * {@link org.springframework.core.io.Resource Resource}. A plain path
	 * &mdash; for example, {@code "test.properties"} &mdash; will be treated as a
	 * classpath resource that is <em>relative</em> to the package in which the
	 * test class is defined. A path starting with a slash will be treated as an
	 * <em>absolute</em> classpath resource, for example:
	 * {@code "/org/example/test.xml"}. A path which references a
	 * URL (e.g., a path prefixed with
	 * {@link org.springframework.util.ResourceUtils#CLASSPATH_URL_PREFIX classpath:},
	 * {@link org.springframework.util.ResourceUtils#FILE_URL_PREFIX file:},
	 * {@code http:}, etc.) will be loaded using the specified resource protocol.
	 * Resource location wildcards (e.g. <code>*&#42;/*.properties</code>)
	 * are not permitted: each location must evaluate to exactly one
	 * {@code .properties} or {@code .xml} resource. Property placeholders
	 * in paths (i.e., <code>${...}</code>) will be
	 * {@linkplain org.springframework.core.env.Environment#resolveRequiredPlaceholders(String) resolved}
	 * against the {@code Environment}.
	 *
	 * <h3>Default Properties File Detection</h3>
	 * <p>See the class-level Javadoc for a discussion on detection of defaults.
	 *
	 * <h3>Precedence</h3>
	 * <p>Properties loaded from resource locations have lower precedence than
	 * inlined {@link #properties}.
	 *
	 * <p>This attribute may <strong>not</strong> be used in conjunction with
	 * {@link #value}, but it may be used <em>instead</em> of {@link #value}.
