Description

Description

Even though useBeanValidation is set to false, the generated code still has a dependency on the javax.validation:validation-api.

2.2.3

Swagger declaration file content or url

Example can be found at https://github.com/wjam/swagger-codegen-spring-cloud

Command line used for generation

Maven library used. Configuration is in the GitHub repo mentioned above

Steps to reproduce

Remove the javax.validation:validation-api dependency and run mvn clean compile.

Suggest a fix/enhancement

I think it's just the import that's always being included in the generated code?

Research direction

Use the linked swagger-codegen-spring-cloud example and its Maven configuration to reproduce the failure with mvn clean compile after removing javax.validation:validation-api. Inspect the generated Java imports and dependency output; done means compilation succeeds without validation-api when useBeanValidation is false.
