[JAVA] Not possible to disable builder pattern in models

[rubena]

Description

When we generate the Java client of the defined API, the model comes with a builder pattern that makes no possible to access attributes on Freemarker without using the full getter method name. It forces us to use ${item.getId()} instead of ${item.id} or change the generated code, which is not an option in a project where the model must be generated many times.

Swagger-codegen version

2.3.1

A configuration option to disable builder generation

[filip-majernik]

Also it causes compile problems for Java if there are two fields named like this: 'identifier' and 'setIdentifier'. The java model class would contain two methods like this:

public void setIdentifier(String identifier) {
        this.identifier = identifier;
    }

public DocumentIdentificationDto withSetIdentifier(String setIdentifier) {
    this.setIdentifier = setIdentifier;
    return this;
}

It would be nice to be able to set a prefix for the Builder methods, e.g. 'with'. In the meantime if there any workaround?
