POJO generated from jsonschema2pojo generating class that should not exist

Question

I am using jsonschema2pojo from command line to create POJO's for the following json's :

book_store.json

book_details.json

{
	"type": "object",
	"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema",
	"description": "attributes of a book",
	"properties": {
		"id": {
			"type": "string",
			"description": "ID of the parameteror category or channel or file"
		},

		"code": {
			"type": "string",
			"description": "key of the parameter or category or channel or file"
		},

		"description": {
			"type": "string",
			"description": "description of the parameter or category or channel or file"
		}
	}
}

Now the generated Java POJO's look like this :

BookStore.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.annotation.Generated;

        return new EqualsBuilder().append(id, rhs.id).append(code, rhs.code).append(description, rhs.description).append(additionalProperties, rhs.additionalProperties).isEquals();
    }

}

Whereas i was not even expecting SoftCopy.java object...I expected to have "BookStore.java" & "BookDetails.java" . SoftCopy and HardCopy should be lists of the type BookDetails.java

Fixed this issue by using the extension "javaType" - https://github.com/joelittlejohn/jsonschema2pojo/issues/164
