Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The generated code actually uses light-4j, which in turn uses undertow. Therefore one has to learn about light4j before being able to use the generated code. As someone looking for a pure untertow server, that's surprising, but not bad since light4j seems to have a lot of middleware.

I do believe however that light4j has evolved way beyond undertow and is another project altogether.

Describe the solution you'd like

Simply rename all instances of java-undertow-server to java-light4j-server.

It'd be nice to have documented in the generated README.md too.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leaving it as it is, but documenting that light4j is actually used, which still feels like a bamboozle.

Search the repository for every java-undertow-server reference and locate the generated README.md for this generator. Confirm all generator naming and documentation references that need to change, then verify that no old generator name remains and the README identifies light4j.
