[FEATURE REQ] Support for new spring boot 4.0.0

[JoanaPedrosoDiconium]

Today the new version of Spring Boot was released, version 4.0.0. I tried updating it but when I boot my app, I get this error

13:57:25.344 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication -- Application run failed

I have the following azure spring dependencies:

  <properties>
            <azure-sdk.version>1.2.2</azure-sdk.version>
            <azure-spring.version>6.0.0</azure-spring.version>
  </properties>

 <dependency>
        <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault</artifactId>
    </dependency>

  <dependency>
      <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-starter-active-directory</artifactId>
  </dependency>

    <dependency>
            <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-starter-storage-blob</artifactId>
     </dependency>
    

Those are using azure-spring version 6.0.0.

I also have the following ones needed for integration with Azure:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-dependencies</artifactId>
        <version>${azure-spring.version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
        <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
        <artifactId>azure-communication-email</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>

I think the error in particular is coming from spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault and on Spring Boot migration guide I found no advice about migrating Azure related dependencies: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-4.0-Migration-Guide

I consulted the spring versions map https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/wiki/Spring-Versions-Mapping and I see none for the Spring Boot 4.0.0

Is Azure planning to launch a new version soon with additional support for this version of Spring Boot?
