Description

Description

I am executing swagger-codegen-cli.jar "generate" with a YAML swagger file as input, and "swagger-yaml" as the language.

I just upgraded swagger-codegen-cli to version 2.3.1, and now the tool is generating "example:" definitions for each object type. I don't want this.

Is there any way to disable this?

Swagger-codegen version

2.3.1

Swagger declaration file content or url
Command line used for generation

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i my.yaml -l swagger-yaml -o /tmp

Steps to reproduce

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i my.yaml -l swagger-yaml -o /tmp

A command-line option to disable the automatic generation of example definitions would be great.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i my.yaml -l swagger-yaml -o /tmp command with swagger-codegen 2.3.1 and compare its output with the previous version. Trace the swagger-yaml generation path to determine where example: definitions are added; done means a documented way to suppress them and a regression check for the generated YAML.
