Feature request: @ApiModelProperty example support number type

I’d like to request a feature which will allow example field of ApiModelProperty support number type.

For latest release version (1.5.0), if you use example like this:

        @ApiModelProperty(dataType = "double", required = true, example = "1234")
    private Double numberField;

The generated swagger spec looks like:

 "numberField" : {
          "type" : "number",
          "format" : "double",
          "example" : "1349"
        }

Which I believe should be:

 "numberField" : {
          "type" : "number",
          "format" : "double",
          "example" : 1349
        }

@etyrrill Can you explain how you used Property.example to format the @ApiModelProperty example value? I have the annotation on the property of the class. class ClassName { @ApiModelProperty(name = "name", value = "value", example = "[\"v1\", \"v2\"]") private List<String> values; } Now what do I have to do with Property.class and Property.example ?

I think this is a similar issue:

@JsonProperty("year")
@ApiModelProperty(required = true, example = "2020", dataType = "java.lang.String")
private final Year year;
...
class Year {
  @JsonProperty("year") // this has no effect on the outcome whther present or not
  private final String year;
}

gives me

...
"year": 2020
...

but I’d like

...
"year": "2020"
...
