Description

I'm using the openapi-generator-maven-plugin version 3.3.4
I don't want to generate models - I want to use my source models which located in a seperate module in my project.
When I set generateModels to false, the defaultAPI that is being generated is still generated with the package that havn't been generated:
import org.openapitools.client.model.<REQUEST>;

Is there a way to specify what package to import in order to consume the model?
Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with openapi-generator-maven-plugin version 3.3.4, setting generateModels to false and examining the generated defaultAPI imports. Trace how the plugin chooses the model package, then verify that an external source-model package can be used without generating models and that the generated API no longer imports the absent default package.
