Custom templates don't work on Windows

[demonfiddler]

Description

Custom templates for supporting files don't get resolved under Windows. The reason is that DefaultGenerator.generateSupportingFiles (around line 581 in version 3.0.0-rc1) contains the following erroneous construct:

    if(ignoreProcessor.allowsFile(new File(outputFilename))) {
        if (templateFile.endsWith("mustache")) {
            String templateName = templateFile;
            final com.github.jknack.handlebars.Template hTemplate = getHandlebars(templateName.replace(config.templateDir(), StringUtils.EMPTY)); // 581: WRONG!!!

On Windows, config.templateDir() returns the canonical Windows path of the custom template directory (e.g. C:\source\svn\WBPM\cloud\obj-api\trunk\objectapi\templates\jaxrs-cxf) whereas templateName has already been converted (at around line 568, which changes \ to / in templateFile) to use Unix-style path separator and has a value like C:/source/svn/WBPM/cloud/obj-api/trunk/objectapi/templates/jaxrs-cxf/server/pom.mustache. Thus the call to getHandlebars() fails with the following exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\source\svn\WBPM\cloud\obj-api\trunk\objectapi\templates\jaxrs-cxf/C:/source/svn/WBPM/cloud/obj-api/trunk/objectapi/templates/jaxrs-cxf/server/pom.mustache

I discovered this while trying to use swagger-codegen-maven-plugin to generate jaxrs-cxf code with custom templates (BTW the existing jaxrs-cxf templates do not yield an executable Spring application).

Isn't it rather a major bug that custom templates don't work on Windows?!

Swagger-codegen version

3.0.0-rc1

Sorry, I am not permitted to post the YAML in question, for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Pretty much any old YAML should suffice.

hello @demonfiddler , can you please try with 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT?

[demonfiddler]

Hello @HugoMario, thank you for the response. Whence may one obtain io.swagger:swagger-codegen-maven-plugin:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT? It's not on Maven Central. Or is there some other central snapshot repo of which I'm unaware? Or do I have to build it myself?
