The long story short: this module avoids annotation clutter in your code and gives you the ability to process your Open API specification in your continous build or pipeline before piublishing your Open API specification.
The plugin allows you to include resposes like 301 to allow for future changes to resources and e.g. 202 for deferred processing and so on.
This plugin is intended to use the Swagger Core library to extend OpenAPI specification with request and reponse headers, reponse codes etc. in order for a build pipeline to extend REST services with defaults.
Module is ready as an initial version
The idea is to minimize the annotation clutter in the code and postpone what you would always and automate that as a part of development. Thus this could be used during continous integration or as a step in the continous delivery pipeline
- e.g. as a step for making the Open API specification ready for consumers and having added the necessary items to the specification, which makes it possible for the API to evolve whilst keeping consumers happy. The optimal situation is obtained if the content versioning paradigm (having support for multiple versions in same endpoint) is used.
The initial version supports a rudimentary standard and mininmal collection of reponse and request codes and headers. The module will be extended with a more fine grained support for individual request headers, response status codes and headers, if this is found useful.
To have Swagger generate the OpenAPI specifications as part of the build add in the plugin to the POM.
The standard collection of status codes and headers
<build>

<artifactId>api-pp-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>

</build>This will run the generation in the verify lifecycle stage of the Maven build.
The packages currently supported are:
standard - adds (200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 301, 304, 307, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 406, 410, 412, 415, 422, 429, 500, 501, 503, 505 ....)
minimum - adds (200, 202, 204, 301, 304, 400, 415, 500)
Not supported yet:
individual - adding individual reponse codes and/or headers, but will be if enough people find it useful
