[Question][jaxrs-cxf-client] trying to generator Swagger 3 code, but still getting Swagger 2

[cteichFirma]

Description

When i try to generate JAVA17/jakarta compatible Code with the jaxrs-cxf-client generator i get jakarta imports due to the property <useJakartaEe>true</useJakartaEe>, but i still get imports for swagger2, e.g.
import io.swagger.jaxrs.PATCH; which references javax.ws.rs.HttpMethod.
How can i generate Code for Swagger 3

openapi-generator version

I use the openapi-generator version 7.9.0 with openapi-generator-maven-plugin to generate the client code
<groupId>org.openapitools</groupId>
<artifactId>openapi-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.9.0</version>
<configuration>
<configOptions>
<oas3>true</oas3>
<useSpringController>true</useSpringController>
<useJakartaEe>true</useJakartaEe>
<useSpringBoot3>true</useSpringBoot3>
<sourceFolder>src/main/java</sourceFolder>
<annotationLibrary>none</annotationLibrary>
</configOptions>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>petstore</id>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<inputSpec>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/petstore.yaml</inputSpec>
<generatorName>jaxrs-cxf-client</generatorName>
<generateSupportingFiles>false</generateSupportingFiles>
</configuration>
</execution>
<executions>

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

I use the petstore example from OpenAPISpecification https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/examples/v3.0/petstore.yaml

This results in the following Code
package org.openapitools.api;

import org.openapitools.model.Error;
import org.openapitools.model.Pet;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import jakarta.ws.rs.;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.Response;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext.multipart.;

import io.swagger.annotations.Api;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiOperation;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiResponses;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiResponse;
import io.swagger.jaxrs.PATCH;

/**

• Swagger Petstore

• No description provided (generated by Openapi Generator https://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator)

*/
@path("/pets")
@Api(value = "/", description = "")
public interface PetsApi {
...

which still contains imports to io.swagger.jaxrs and no imports to io.swagger.v3.oas or org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext

After a quick look it seems to not be supported yet(might fix it myself if i get the time) , if you want to learn more about the jaxrs-cxf-client generator you can take a look here https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/jaxrs-cxf-client.

If you are willing to tinker with the source code, you can modify the appropriate templates in the jaxrs folder and then generate the code you need using the CLI.

Please, give priority to this issue. Importing javax instead of jakarta in 2025 is quite nasty.
A ready made solution seems to exist. Please, check that merge request.

@pnavato I did a test but the output didn't compile. Did you test the PR? Does it work for you?

I left a comment in #19907 on how I tested.

[pnavato]

No, sorry, I did not test the PR.

This issue was mentioned in #21099 , and it was closed claiming that the changes were merged and released in 4.17.0. This particular issue still persist in 4.17.0, could it be the change was incomplete/never implemented?
