Description

In v2.1.5 of swagger-codegen, the import mappings include:

com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty
com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonValue

(Java imports of the above packages are injected into the generated code)

In our 'custom' template, we do not wish to import this package.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Java generator applies import mappings to generated clients and how the custom template is processed. Define the configuration needed to omit selected Jackson imports while preserving the current default behavior, then verify that a custom template can generate without those imports.
