Description
The pattern **/* in .openapi-generator-ignore file should suppress all content in the root of the output directory. It does not and you need to add an additional pattern /* to get the root output directory files suppressed.
This is flagged/warned as redundant by .ignore file tooling.
openapi-generator version
7.0.1
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
.openapi-generator-ignore
**/*
Generation Details
In this case I was using the java generation.
Steps to reproduce
- Create an ignore file with the content mentioned above
- Generate an openapi spec using java defaults
Expected: No files generated at all
Actual: All files in the root directory are generated.

Research direction
Start by reproducing Java generation with a .openapi-generator-ignore file containing only **/*, using the issue's expected and actual results as the baseline. Trace the ignore handling used during generation and verify that no files are produced in the output directory when the behavior is corrected.
