Improper code generation when a property is resolved to be Map<String, ANonYetExistingObject>

I have the following field in my JSON Schema:

"metrics": {
          "type": "object",
          "description": "",
          "additionalProperties": {
            "$ref": "#/definitions/istio_adapter_dogstatsd_Params_MetricInfo",
            "javaType": "me.snowdrop.istio.adapter.dogstatsd.MetricInfo"
          },
          "javaType": "java.util.Map\u003cString,me.snowdrop.istio.adapter.dogstatsd.MetricInfo\u003e"
        },

This properly creates a Map<String,MetricInfo> with a proper import, however, the ref is never resolved and therefore the MetricInfo class is never created, even though the schema properly contains a istio_adapter_dogstatsd_Params_MetricInfo definition. The issue seems to be in ObjectRule.createClass in particular this part which resolves the type as Map and throws ClassAlreadyExistsException.

Thanks, works for me that way.

If you simply add a top-level schema file with a $ref to #/definitions/kubernetes_apiextensions_JSONSchemaPropsOrStringArray then the type you need will be generated. Then you can refer to it in the same way in your Map definition.
