Steps to reproduce
- Clone https://github.com/newpathfly/newpathfly-public-sdk
- Update
pom.xmlwith and without generateAliasAsModel set to true - open any source that references HashMap, e.g.
target/generated-sources/openapi/src/main/java/com/newpathfly/model/Check.javain IDE, like VSCode.
Expect: HashMap type is imported
import java.util.HashMap;

Actual: HashMap type is not imported

Research direction
Start with the pom.xml configuration and reproduce generation using generateAliasAsModel=true, then inspect target/generated-sources/openapi/src/main/java/com/newpathfly/model/Check.java. Compare the generated imports with and without that option and verify that the generated Java sources compile when HashMap is referenced.
