supported.

* Use `java.time.Duration` rather than `long` and describe the default unit if it differs from milliseconds, e.g. "If a duration suffix is not specified, seconds will be used".
* Do not provide the default value in the description unless it has to be determined at runtime.
NOTE: You should only use simple text with `@ConfigurationProperties` field Javadoc, since
they are not processed before being added to the JSON.
Make sure to <<appendix-configuration-metadata#configuration-metadata-annotation-processor,trigger meta-data generation>> so that IDE assistance is available for your keys as well.
You may want to review the generated metadata (`META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`) to make sure your keys are properly documented.
Using your own starter in a compatible IDE is also a good idea to validate that quality of the metadata.
