POJO generated from jsonschema2pojo generating class that should not exist

Question

I am using jsonschema2pojo from command line to create POJO's for the following json's :

book_store.json

{
 "type": "object",
 "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema",
 "description": "Books that I have",
 "properties": {
    "soft-copies": {
     "type": "array",
     "items": {
      "$ref": "./book_details.json"
     }
    },
    "hard-copies": {
     "type": "array",
     "items": {
      "$ref": "./book_details.json"
     }
    }
  }
}

book_details.json

{
 "type": "object",
 "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema",
 "description": "attributes of a book",
 "properties": {
  "id": {
   "type": "string",
   "description": "ID of the parameteror category or channel or file"
  },

  "code": {
   "type": "string",
   "description": "key of the parameter or category or channel or file"
  },

  "description": {
   "type": "string",
   "description": "description of the parameter or category or channel or file"
  }
 }
}

Now the generated Java POJO's look like this :

BookStore.java

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

        SoftCopy rhs = ((SoftCopy) other);
        return new EqualsBuilder().append(id, rhs.id).append(code, rhs.code).append(description, rhs.description).append(additionalProperties, rhs.additionalProperties).isEquals();
    }

}

Whereas i was not even expecting SoftCopy.java object...I expected to have "BookStore.java" & "BookDetails.java" . SoftCopy and HardCopy should be lists of the type BookDetails.java

Fixed this issue by using the extension "javaType" - https://github.com/joelittlejohn/jsonschema2pojo/issues/164
