Description

Some WSDL Java generators allow Builders to be generated as well. This way you can instantiate the Swagger objects like this:

new MyRestResponse.Builder().someValue("someValue").build();

This approach has great benefits, eg for generating mock requests/responses. Can this be implemented for the swagger code generation as well?
