It is indeed not necessary to put the @Repository annotation on interfaces that extend JpaRepository; Spring recognizes the repositories by the fact that they extend one of the predefined Repository interfaces.
From the javadoc:
Annotation to enable JPA repositories. Will scan the package of the annotated configuration class for Spring Data repositories by default.
