Description

With the new version 7.11.0 of the openapi-generator, a @Nullable annotation was introduced in the SpringCodegen.java from org.springframework.lang
Since we are using the JavaCamelServerCodegen.java in our Quarkus project, which extends the SpringCodegen.java, these annotations are introduced in our generated pojo's, causing a compilation failure.

Suggest a fix

We propose to switch to a more neutral annotation like jakarta.annotation.Nullable which is compatible across frameworks.

Research direction

Start in SpringCodegen.java and trace how JavaCamelServerCodegen.java inherits nullable annotations into generated POJOs. Compare the 7.11.0 change referenced in PR 20345 with the Quarkus generation example; done means non-required fields no longer introduce an incompatible Spring annotation while generated Java remains valid.
