Description

When you have generated code where X implements Y interface and you now replace the Y interface
using the import-mapping then the result is that X does not implement Y anymore.

X should still implement Y when using import-mapping

openapi-generator version

4.3.1

Research direction

Start with the openapi-generator-maven-plugin configuration and reproduce the case using OpenAPI Generator 4.3.1, Java 11, and the shown importMappings setting. Inspect the generated Java class and verify that X implements the mapped Y interface; done means the generated class retains that interface while using the imported type.
