Description
I would like to use jackson instead of gson for serialization when generating the java openapi client.
In configOptions in the generateJavaClient task, I have:
task generateJavaClient(type: org.openapitools.generator.gradle.plugin.tasks.GenerateTask) {
group = 'OpenAPI Tools'
description = 'Generates a Java SDK client to connect to this service'
generatorName = "java"
inputSpec = "$rootDir/open-api/alert-service-api-spec.yml".toString()
outputDir = "$buildDir/generated/java".toString()
apiPackage = "com.thousandeyes.alert.sdk.api"
invokerPackage = "com.thousandeyes.alert.sdk.invoker"
modelPackage = "com.thousandeyes.alert.sdk.model"
configOptions = [
library: "retrofit2",
serializationLibrary: "jackson", // this does not seem to be honors. Still uses Gson.
dateLibrary : "java8"
]
}
openapi-generator version
I am using version 6.2.0. I don't know if it is a regression or not.

Generation Details
I got the same generated code (using gson serialization) whether serializationLibrary: "jackson" is specified or not.
Steps to reproduce
Run ./gradlew generateJavaClient

Generated code should use jackson instead of gson.

Research direction
Start by running ./gradlew generateJavaClient with the shown configOptions, then trace how the Java generator handles serializationLibrary for the retrofit2 library. Done means the generated client uses Jackson serialization instead of Gson when serializationLibrary is set to "jackson".
