LGTM, approval of PR to enable test on CI

Looks great, well done! 👏
A few minor suggestions.
For the config option name and description - you would need to verify that the field and method names are properly set, and you will have to run ConfigurationExporterTest so that configuration.asciidoc gets updated.
Thanks a lot, this is a very useful extension to our API!

@eyalkoren Thank you for updating configuration.asciidoc!

[eyalkoren]

Awesome work, thanks @tobiasstadler ! ❤️

I just did a few small cosmetic changes in the tests and removed the method matching check on super-annotated-methods being in classes within the configured application packages as it is not required.

Thank You!
