Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't like the way client code is generated. I want to implement my own and let openapi-generator take care of simply generating the DTO classes. E.g. I want to just generate classes with Jackson annotations

Describe the solution you'd like

support a library none and generate code using the serializationLibrary only.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Java generator's handling of the library option and serializationLibrary, then determine how a none library should produce DTO classes with the selected serialization annotations while omitting client code. Done means the option is supported and covered by appropriate generator tests.
