Allow skipping/ignoring of arbitrary Model creation

Tell us the extension to which you'd like to add the feature.

What kind of feature would you like to add?

I have a need to be able to only generate some of the models specified in the OpenAPI schema and would like to be able to have the generate skip one or more defined types.

I see that currently we can skip Deprecated ones only.

Hi! Thanks for raising this issue. We don't plan to introduce this feature to the library currently. If you have the time and the will to do so, please open a PR, and I can help review it.

As a workaround, I recommend removing the unneeded models from your spec file. You might have different versions of it and set specific namespaces; this way, alternative code will be generated for use at runtime.

Hmm ok.. I am auto generating the spec file with the quarkus extension (quarkus-smallrye-openapi) so I'll have to look to see if they let me not generate part of the output. We are not doing any manual copying of the spec file at the moment.
