Description

I just started using 2.1.6-SNAPSHOT in one project and it seems that the java client generator ignores the sourceFolder option in config.json.

It simply generates the files into the current dir.

Config to reproduce:

{
        "library": "jersey2",
        "sourceFolder" : "src/generated/java",
        "apiPackage":"ch.sample.snap.api",
        "modelPackage":"ch.sample.snap.model",
        "invokerPackage":"ch.sample.snap.api.invoker"
}

I then go on to compile the source in src/generated/java using a customized gradle build (not the one generated).

Research direction

Start with the Java client generator and the config.json option shown in the report, then reproduce generation with sourceFolder set to src/generated/java. Trace where the output directory is selected and verify that generated files are placed under the configured sourceFolder rather than the current directory.
