My problem is how can i trigger above command using maven.

i tried with exec-maven-plugin it is asking for main class, but i am not sure on the main class(i mean which is main class and where it is)

Please help.

The main class is SwaggerCodegen.java, as you can see it contains the method:

public static void main (String [] args)
