Description

When trying to generate .java files from Unleash OpenAPI specs (file attached), I get errors using OpenAPI Generator with java native library. It seems that it generates the method names that are not valid for Java syntax. I use java native because I want the client to be java.net.http.HttpClient.

Command I use:
openapi-generator generate -i unleash.openapi.json -g java -o test --additional-properties=serializationLibrary=jackson,library=native

Example error I get when I try to compile the code:

.../AdvancedPlaygroundRequestSchemaProjects.java:228: error: unexpected token: <
    public List<String> getList<String>() throws ClassCastException {
                               ^

Multiple files have this issue.

openapi-generator version

7.17.0

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

unleash.openapi.json

Research direction

Start by running the reported openapi-generator command with the attached unleash.openapi.json and inspect the generated AdvancedPlaygroundRequestSchemaProjects.java and other failing files. Compare the generated accessor names with valid Java syntax; done means the native Java client generated from this specification compiles without syntax errors.
