Research direction

The request targets Java generated client model/classes and asks for @JsonPropertyDescription from each model property's description. Start by tracing the Java model-generation templates or entry points and how property descriptions are handled; compare with the existing Swagger-annotation alternative. Done means generated Java models include the requested annotation from the OpenAPI description without requiring that alternative dependency.
