[BUG][JAVA] Compilation error: element value must be a constant expression

Bug Report Checklist

• [ ] Have you provided a full/minimal spec to reproduce the issue? yes

• [ ] Have you validated the input using an OpenAPI validator (example)? yes

• [ ] What's the version of OpenAPI Generator used? 3.3.4

• [ ] Have you search for related issues/PRs? yes

• [ ] What's the actual output vs expected output? The generated java code is:

@RequestParam(value = "username", required = true, defaultValue=null)

And that code doesn't compile due to:

StuffApi.java:[53,123] element value must be a constant expression

In version 3.3.3 that same spec was working and was generating:

@RequestParam(value = "username", required = true, defaultValue="null")

• [ ] [Optional] Bounty to sponsor the fix (example) no

Description

When migrating from openapi-generator-maven-plugin 3.3.3 to 3.3.4 the generated code doesn't compile anymore.

openapi-generator version

I'm using version 3.3.4 of openapi-generator.

Steps to reproduce

A sample project is available here: https://github.com/benoitheinrich/spring-cloud-contract-long-text

Run mvn clean install

[Zomzog]

Reproduced in 3.3.4 but not in 4.0.0, looks like it has been fixed.

3.3.3 generate "null", 3.3.4 generate null

[benoitheinrich]

Do you know when the 4.0.0 is supposed to be released ?

Do you know when the 4.0.0 is supposed to be released ?

mid May to align with the project's anniversary (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/milestone/4)

[bsakari]

How can I solve this?
