The processing of the ignoreAnyOfInEnum param behaves differently depending on how the schema is modeled.
Problem description
The following DOES work:
"type": {
"anyOf": [
{
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"A",
"B",
"C"
],
"description": "Predefined types"
},
{
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^/other.*",
"description": "Non-standard types"
}
]
}
But this one does NOT (which expresses the exact same thing):
"type": {
"anyOf": [
{
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/TypeStandard"
},
{
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/TypeOther"
}
]
},
"TypeStandard": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"A",
"B",
"C"
],
"description": "Predefined types"
},
"TypeOther": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^/other.*",
"description": "Non-standard types"
},

Research direction
Start with the Java generator and the Maven plugin's handling of ignoreAnyOfInEnum. Reproduce the difference using the inline anyOf and referenced-schema examples in the issue, then compare how each schema is processed. Done means referenced enum schemas behave like embedded enums when the option is true.
