[BUG] [JAVA] when using discriminator pattern the java generator creates a class with many properties instead of an interface

[FinKingma]

Description

The issue seems to occur in the java generator start in version 5.0.0, and still occurs in the latest version 6.1.0.
When using the discriminator pattern as described in the documentation, we no longer receive an interface object for the base class, but a class that contains all of the properties of all the OneOf objects.
In the old version of the generator (4.3.1) an interface is generated, which is implemented by the classes generated by the oneOf's.
I have omitted the generated annotations, since the problem lies in the java objects being generated.

4.3.1 situation

public interface PetResponse  {
    public String getPetType();
}

public class Lizard implements PetResponse {
...

5.0.0 and on (6.1.0 still occurs)

public class PetResponse {
public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_CAT_NAME = "catName";
  private String catName;

  public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_PET_TYPE = "petType";
  protected String petType;

  public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_BARK = "bark";
  private String bark;

  public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_LOVES_ROCKS = "lovesRocks";
  private Boolean lovesRocks;
...

public class Lizard {
  public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_LOVES_ROCKS = "lovesRocks";
  private Boolean lovesRocks;

  public static final String JSON_PROPERTY_PET_TYPE = "petType";
  private String petType;
....

openapi-generator version

This still worked in version 4.3.1
it broke in version 5.0.0
it still fails in 6.1.0

Generation Details

We use the java generator, with both the WebClient and RestTemplate libraries. We also use the spring generator, but the interface is generated correctly there, so the problem seems to lie in the java generator.

Hi, did you find a solution for this? Is interface generation not possible at all now?

[igauravsehrawat]

Can someone help me find a solution to this bug?
Can I write some witty code in java and make this work?

I also run into that issue.
Looking at the code I'm not quite sure what to do. Just enable property parsing (#13490) or enable the feature by default?!
