Java codegen fails to create an Any class for swagger specs with an "any" type

As an example you can run codegen on https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/master/api/swagger-spec/v1.json

According to swagger spec, there's no type named "any".

1. It's a 1.2 spec
2. It is an entry in the "type" field of which "any" is a valid value as a String, however, "any" is not created elsewhere in the spec. Additionally, the spec validates against the 1.2 swagger spec

@elibixby According to swagger spec 1.2, there's no type named "any" either.

Do you expect "any" to be a class named "Any" without any properties in the generated code?

@elibixby I think it's a known issue as documented by the owner of kubernetes:

kubernetes/kubernetes#4700

@wing328 Thanks! I missed that issue I guess!

[wing328]

@elibixby As a workaround, you can do a find & replace for "any" with "object". I can generate code without exception using this approach.

@wing328 Thanks, yeah I ended up replacing it with Map<String,String> and it seems to work fine.
