Description

For the tags in the spec

    "tags": [
        {
            "description": "Everything about your Pets",
            "externalDocs": {
                "description": "Find out more",
                "url": "http://swagger.io"
            },
            "name": "pet"
        }

It will be nice to display the description and externalDocs in the Java source comment, as below:

/**
 * Everything about your Pets
 * @see <a href="http://swagger.io">Find out more</a>
 */
@javax.annotation.Generated(value = "class io.swagger.codegen.languages.JavaClientCodegen", date = "2016-03-24T09:40:51.034-07:00")
public class PetApi {
  private ApiClient apiClient;
