Swagger-Codegen generates empty class instead of an instance of ByteArrayOutputStream

Question

I'm currently trying to generate an api with swagger-codegen. The only problem i have is that swagger generates an empty class with the name "ByteArrayOutputStream" instead of an instance of ByteArrayOutputStream. The generated class also contains no attributes.

The generated swagger-yaml also defines ByteArrayOutputStream like this:

  ByteArrayOutputStream:
    type: "object"

This is the relevant part of the swagger.yaml. I've replaced some of the values with "..." and shortened the file.

Update: I've changed my api and replaced ByteArrayOutputStram by a String. I use Base64 encoding and decoding to do so. This helped me avoid the problems and works fine.
