Description

Description

Basically https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/issues/21234 but with Maven Plugin. No matter what I try to configure, any model with "oneOf" is generated as a merged class of all Models instead of a single Interface and the oneOf-types being subclasses.

This works for spring-Generator (Server) but not for java (Client).

openapi-generator version

7.12.0, 7.13.0, 7.14.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing Java client generation with the Maven Plugin using a model with oneOf and the useOneOfInterfaces setting, then compare the result with the working spring generator behavior. Done means the Java client generates a single interface with the oneOf types as subclasses instead of a merged model class.
