I will create a Pull Request if this seems like a reasonable solution.

My bad - The suggested fix causes an endless-build loop.

i.e. on build, swagger-codegen-maven-plugin executes the generate goal which modifies project files (kinda the point), which causes another build, which causes the generate goal to execute, which causes a build, which causes the generate goal to execute, which causes a build, and so on, ad infinitum.

I thought that the fix avoided that problem, but it does not. I believe avoiding the endless-build loop problem may require changes to the io.swagger.codegen.CodegenConfig interface, which could have far greater impact.
