Generating Feign Clients with Swagger Codegen and Gradle

So the solution to:

  error: package org.springframework.cloud.security.oauth2.client.feign does not exist

is to manually add the lines:

    task deleteNonClientRelatedClasses(dependsOn: 'generateClient') {
        doLast {
            delete "${project.buildDir}/src/main/java/io"
        }
    }

to the Gradle build script? Sounds like Swagger is inserting itself into the complexity spiral dominated by Spring, Gradle, and Apache Groovy.
