Swagger - Springfox always generates some response messages (401,403...) by default. How can I remove them?

Question

I have controller as simple as this:

@RequestMapping(value="/async/data", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
@ApiOperation(value = "Gets data", notes="Gets data asynchronously")
@ApiResponses(value={@ApiResponse(code=200, message="OK")})
public Callable<List<Data>> getData(){
    return ( () -> {return dataService.loadData();} );
}

I was expecting to have only a response message for HTTP status 200. However springfox always generates the ones below (401, 403, 404). How can I disable (not show) them?

GET /async/data Gets data

You should be able to set up the plugin to not use the default response messages. Follow below instructions for different versions.

For 1.0.2 or prior

  new SwaggerSpringMvcPlugin(...)
        //More config
        .useDefaultResponseMessages(false) //<-- this should be false
  ...;

For 2.x

  new Docket()
        //More config
        .useDefaultResponseMessages(false) //<-- this should be false
  ...;
