Description

PR prompted by Issue removed @Component and @Autowired annotations from the ApiClient and Api classes.

Before this change Spring would automatically find the ApiClient and Api classes and they could easily be autowired. Since this change they will not be auto-discovered by Spring and previously working builds will now fail.

You now have to manually provide the classes to Spring by e.g.:

@Bean
public DefaultApi defaultApi(RestTemplate restTemplate) {
  return new DefaultApi(new ApiClient(restTemplate));
}

Furthermore the PR only removed the annotations but did not remove the imports of the annotation. See:
@Autowired in ApiClient
@Component in ApiClient
@Autowired in Api
@Component in Api

This should never have been merged in a minor update, since it is a breaking change. But since the damage has already been done now it should at least be documented in the changelog of this version and a migration path should be provided.
