Description

Hey all,

I'm interested in helping improve some of the generators, and I can't figure out how to run my changes. I was able to run them as a standalone generator by adding the packaged generator jar to the classpath. I'm now trying to use swagger-codegen with my local copy of swagger-codegen-generators, but I can't seem to figure out how, and the process of doing so is not documented either here or the main repository. What should I do? Thanks for the help in advance.

Research direction

No file or test is named. First reproduce the setup using the local swagger-codegen-generators copy with swagger-codegen, then compare the process with running the packaged generator JAR. Done means adding clear instructions to this repository or the main repository so contributors can run and verify local generator changes.
