[REQ] [JAVA] Java 11 Native HTTP client library

Created by: bbdouglas

Description

Support Java 11 Native HTTP client library.

New in the standard library of Java 11 is an HTTPClient class that simplifies much of the low-level details of making HTTP calls. Using this native client as opposed to a third party client such as Jersey or Feign comes with a few key benefits:

  • Reduced set of dependencies for the caller
  • Strong commitment to continuous support and backwards compatibility by the Java maintainers
  • Up-to-date features such as HTTP2 support

We at Yelp have developed a set of mustache templates for use with openapi-generator that produces native Java 11 HTTPClient-based client libraries. We actively use these clients in our production microservices infrastructure and find them robust and performant. We would like to propose integrating these with the main openapi-generator project to open up their use to the wider community.
