Java – how to avoid default method implementation in swagger codegen interface

codegeninterfacejavamavenswagger

I would like to avoid "default" implementation in interface generate by the maven plugin swagger codegen.
For example, with petstore swagger : http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json

I generate interface with maven plugin :

            <plugin>
            <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
            <artifactId>swagger-codegen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.3</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>generate</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <inputSpec>./src/main/resources/swagger/api.yml</inputSpec>
                        <language>spring</language>
                        <generateSupportingFiles>false</generateSupportingFiles>
                        <configOptions>
                            <interfaceOnly>true</interfaceOnly>
                            <java8>true</java8>
                        </configOptions>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

I generate interface like PetApi.java with default implementation of methods :

    default ResponseEntity<Void> addPet(@ApiParam(value = "Pet object that needs to be added to the store" ,required=true )  @Valid @RequestBody Pet body) {
    // do some magic!
    return new ResponseEntity<Void>(HttpStatus.OK);
    }

I would like to avoid it like

    ResponseEntity<Void> addPet(@ApiParam(value = "Pet object that needs to be added to the store" ,required=true )  @Valid @RequestBody Pet body);

Is it possible to do it ?

Update March 2020:

According to new OpenAPI Tool openapi-generator
There is an option with spring (language is DEPRECATED, use generatorName)

skipDefaultInterface

With a "spring" language the "java8" parameter is used both to signal use of the default interface and to signal general use of Java8, e.g. when the Java8 date library is used.
