Creating unit tests for SpringBootApplication

Question

I have SpringBootAplication called MyApplication and one of the plugins that scans code coverage: jacoco complains about code coverage in this file. My question is should I create unit test for this file, and if so what parts should I test?

package com.my.package.cdss;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.EnableAspectJAutoProxy;

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.my.package")
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
public class MyApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MyApplication.class, args);
    }
}

You can simply exclude the classes from jacoco coverage configuration.

 <configuration>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>**/MyApplication.java</exclude>
            </excludes>
 </configuration>

Add this configuration in the jacoco dependency in POM XML
