using the plugin with separate modules does not seem to work

Hi,

I'm trying to generate the swagger documentation in a separate documentation maven project which depends on multiple dependencies who each implements multiple jaxrs interfaces.

I get the following error where the plugin cannot load the class which implements the interface which contains the @Api annotation:

Failed to execute goal com.github.kongchen:swagger-maven-plugin:3.1.5:generate (default) on project dms-admin-doc: could not get type for name com.xxx.yyy.PingRsImpl -> [Help 1]

It seems to me to be a bug when the plugin tries to load the classes who implements it. The implementation class is inside the same module which also provides the interface, so in principle the implementation class should be visible as well.

I configured the plugin with a location who provides the root package name of both the interface and the implementation class.

<locations> <location> com.xxx </location> </locations>

I'm using the latest released version (3.1.5).

By the way: It works fine if I generate the documentation directly inside one a my rest projects.

Anyone using this plugin in similar configuration ?

Thanks,
Nicolas

We also have datastructures in a separate Maven project that is included in the Rest API project as a Maven dependency. Annotations on the datastructures do not appear in documentation, only annotations in the api project (api operations, api parameters), where I run mvn compile.

This is a big blocker, because our parameters are deeply nested with classes from the datastructures project, which need explanations for our users.

I thought I just need to play around with adding the package paths to locations, or finding some other configuration, but no success so far.
