When it comes to generating code for typescript-angular using the openapi-generator-maven-plugin, my process involves configuring an XML file in the following manner:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Despite a successful output from the generator run, I still face the absence of a crucial package.json file necessary for executing npm install. This was previously handled seamlessly with a swagger plugin that auto-generated the package.json file.
Therefore, my inquiry pertains to why the package.json file is not automatically generated and what steps can be taken to remedy this issue?
The log output post-generation seems satisfactory as follows:
