doesn't work with the OpenTelemetry Java agent

## Comparison to Micrometer

At a high level:

OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter
* Natively uses the OpenTelemetry API, OpenTelemetry SDK and the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions
* Supported by the OpenTelemetry community (governed by the CNCF / Linux Foundation)

Micrometer [1], [2]
* An independent standalone observability system
* Offers optional bridges into parts of the OpenTelemetry ecosystem
* Supported by the Micrometer community (governed by Broadcom Inc)

As the authors of the OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter, we recommend using the OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter.
We have a great community behind it, and are continuously making improvements.
If you try it out and have any problems or suggestions, please open an
