[BUG][JAVA] Maven Plugin CodeGenMojo.strictSpecBehavior does not match parameter name 'strictSpec'

[karlbennett]

Description

The maven plugin does not work for version 4.0.* because the strictSpecBehavior field does not match it's parameter name strictSpec. It seems maven ignores the name specified in the annotation and just uses reflection to look for a field that has the same name as the parameter.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.openapitools:openapi-generator-maven-plugin:4.0.1:generate (default) on project test-client: Unable to parse configuration of mojo org.openapitools:openapi-generator-maven-plugin:4.0.1:generate for parameter strictSpec: Cannot find 'strictSpec' in class org.openapitools.codegen.plugin.CodeGenMojo -> [Help 1]

/**

@Parameter(name = "strictSpec", property = "openapi.generator.maven.plugin.strictSpec", required = false)
private Boolean strictSpecBehavior;

Steps to reproduce

Try to generate a client with the maven plugin above version 4.0.*.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.openapitools</groupId>
    <artifactId>openapi-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <inputSpec>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/api.yaml</inputSpec>
                <generatorName>java</generatorName>
                <configOptions>
                   <sourceFolder>src/gen/java/main</sourceFolder>
                </configOptions>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Suggest a fix

Simply fix the field name.

/**
 * To treat a document strictly against the spec.
 */
@Parameter(name = "strictSpec", property = "openapi.generator.maven.plugin.strictSpec", required = false)
private Boolean strictSpec;

@karlbennett thanks for reporting the issue. Please use v4.0.0 for the time being while we're reviewing the option naming for a permanent fix.

I'm also working on better CIs to catch the issue moving forward as part of the build.
