Description
If you create a schema under components called ByteArray the generator produces Java type byte[] regardless of the actual schema. I expect it to use the specified schema instead.
openapi-generator version
7.8.0
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Generation Details
See https://github.com/erikhofer/openapi-generator-bytearray-bug/blob/main/pom.xml
Steps to reproduce
git clone https://github.com/erikhofer/openapi-generator-bytearray-bug.git
cd openapi-generator-bytearray-bug
mvn generate-sources
Look at target/generated-sources/openapi/src/main/java/org/openapitools/api/ExampleApi.java. The method getByteArray demonstrates the faulty generated type while getSomethingElse works correctly.

Research direction
Clone the linked reproduction project, inspect src/main/resources/openapi.yaml and pom.xml, then run mvn generate-sources. Compare getByteArray and getSomethingElse in target/generated-sources/openapi/src/main/java/org/openapitools/api/ExampleApi.java and trace the Java generator's handling of the ByteArray schema. Done means the generated type follows the schema rather than the schema name.
