Swagger overrides Path-Annotations

Question

I just got swagger to produces a valid swagger.json. I configured swagger by using the Application-config method. However, as soon as I override the getClasses-Method to add the

You can use a javax.ws.rs.core.Feature. Just register the classes through the callback's FeatureContext. Annotating the feature with @Provider will have it registered through the scanning.

@Provider
public class SwaggerFeature implements Feature {

    @Override
    public boolean configure(FeatureContext context) {
        context.register(ApiListingResource.class);
        context.register(SwaggerSerializers.class);
        return true;
    }
}

But note that if the application is already registering the resources and providers by class-path scanning, I imagine it should also pick up the Swagger classes, as they are annotated with @Path^[1] and @Provider^[2]. Those are the annotations the class-path scan looks for.

I haven't tried it myself (I stopped using class-path scanning^[3]), but have you tried just not registering them at all? In theory the class-path scan should pick it up.
