[SOLVED] SpringXD: auto-startup=false not working on Kafka message-driven-channel-adapter

I'm using SpringXD, and I have the following config:

spring-integration-kafka 2.1.0.RELEASE
kafka-clients 0.10.0.1
Kafka 0.10.x.x
spring-xd-1.3.1.RELEASE

I have the following config in my xml file:

This is the Java class that I'm using to start/stop the channel:

package com.kafka.source.logic;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;
import org.springframework.messaging.MessageChannel;
import org.springframework.messaging.support.GenericMessage;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;

@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
@ImportResource("classpath:/config/kafka-source-context.xml")
public class KafkaSourceRetry {

    @Autowired
    MessageChannel input;

    @Scheduled(cron="*/50 * * * * *")
    void startAdapter(){
        //CODE COMMENTED OUT TO MAKE SURE THE ADAPTER IS NOT BEING STARTED
        //EVEN IF I UNCOMMENT THE CODE, THE 50 secs defined related to the cron are not respected.
        //That is, if I send a message to the topic, it is inmediately consumed
        //input.send(new GenericMessage<String>("@kafka-inbound-channel-adapter-testing.start()"));
    }
}

Then I created a basic stream to check if some messages that I'm sending to the topic are coming through

stream create --name bridgeStream --definition "kafkaSourceLatestApi_v2|bridge|file" --deploy

I checked the file that was created, and it contained all the messages that I sent to the Kafka topic:

hola_que_tal que_bonito bridgeStream.out (END)

Also in the logs I found this:

My question is: Why does the channel start automatically?
