Description

When using the jaxrs-cxf-client with the mavenplugin (version 5.0.0) the generator creates the java files into target/generated-sources/openapi/src/gen/java, as defined by:
https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/e26f44072929e7392c04ffe4158e4d9bff3658da/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages/JavaCXFClientCodegen.java#L57

However, the documentation for parameter "sourceFolder" states, the output will be put in target/generated-sources/openapi/src/main/java.

Furthermore, only target/generated-sources/openapi/src/gen/java is not defined as sourcepath, so it is not picked up by the maven-compiler-plugin and compiled, resulting in errors.

I would suggest changing the code to match the documentation and also to get the generated java files compiled without further configuration.

Research direction

Start in JavaCXFClientCodegen.java at the sourceFolder definition linked in the issue, then compare it with the jaxrs-cxf generator documentation. Align the generated path with the documented sourceFolder and verify through the Maven plugin that the generated Java sources are discovered and compiled without extra source-path configuration.
