Description

This issue was originally found in the maven plugin implementation of codegen.

input SomeKindOfInput {
  nestedInput: NestedInput = {enumField : ENUM_VALUE1}
}

input NestedInput {
  enumField: SomeKindOfEnum!
}

Generates an invalid Java file:

public class SomeKindOfInput {
  private NestedInput nestedInput = ObjectValue{objectFields=[ObjectField{name='enumField', value=EnumValue{name='ENUM_VALUE1'}}]};
}

Research direction

Start by reproducing the schema shown in the linked Maven plugin report and inspect the generated Java field initialization. Done means the nested input default produces valid Java code while preserving the enum value.
