Hi, Thanks it helps ! Good to know there is already a java client I could use. Nonetheless I think it would be extremely nice to use the swagger codegen project to generate additionally sdks, I don't mind creating a github project of my own to maintain these.
I gave it a go and it gave me a bunch of errors, see https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/issues/3976 I went to https://editor.swagger.io/ , uploaded the swagger.json file and apparently the swagger.json specs for many (if not all) delete calls are having wrong specs, see below. Do you think that's worth opening a JIRA?

However, we are only using it for keeping the documentation in sync. We use a maven plugin that inspects the swagger annotations and generates a swagger.json. The swagger.json is generated to nifi-web-api/target/swagger-ui/swagger.json at build time. Subsequently, the swagger.json is run through a handlebars template to generate the REST API docs. We provide a client library at <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.nifi</groupId> <artifactId>nifi-client-dto</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> Examples of its usage can be seen in our access control integration tests [1]. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

I know it should be generated at build time, but where can I find it? Beyond that, would it be useful to extract that file, version control it, and maybe automatically generate API sdks for many languages using the project above? Would help tremendously Cheers Stephane
