Inherited model definition won't get generated unless used in the API or explicitly mentioned

[roni-frantchi]

when attempting to inherit form a model not explicitly referenced by any other model explicitly used in the API, the model will not get generated in the definitions.

So for the following:

@ApiModel(parent = Parent.class)
public class Child extends Parent {
...
}

will only work for me if Parent is explicitly referenced somewhere in the exposed API.
to workaround it I would have to:

@ApiModel(parent = Parent.class)
public class Child extends Parent {
    private Parent dummyReference;
...
}

Or perhaps add a dummy API...

hi Roni-frantchi ,i have the same use case , where Child model schema does not contain parent model . Even after making a dummy reference of Parent in teh child class it does not work . Which swagger-core version i need to use to make it work ,is it swagger-core-1.5.8 or swagger-core-1.5.7?

@arpit8403 my PR here: #1741 fixed the issue for us.
We've been using our fork ever since -
I'm waiting for @webron, @frantuma, or @fehguy to approve it.
