@ModelAttribute support?

[calvin1864]

Hi, thanks for this very useful plugin!

When you have an API that supports a large amount of query parameters, an alternative to marking each with @RequestParam is using @ModelAttribute to define a large list of query params in a single object

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-controller/ann-methods/modelattrib-method-args.html

Would there be any interest in adding such a feature to this maven plugin?

It would definitely be useful. In fact, this feature is already partially implemented here:
https://github.com/kbuntrock/openapi-maven-plugin/blob/dev/openapi-maven-plugin/src/main/java/io/github/kbuntrock/configuration/library/reader/SpringMvcReader.java#L286

However, I hadn’t realized that @ModelAttribute was tied to this default mapping behavior for query parameters. As a result, anything annotated with @ModelAttribute is even excluded from the documentation here:
https://github.com/kbuntrock/openapi-maven-plugin/blob/dev/openapi-maven-plugin/src/main/resources/non-documentable-parameters.yml

Thanks to this newer and more comprehensive Spring documentation, this exclusion could now be removed and the feature fully implemented.

Interesting. Yeah, it looks like @ModelAttribute can do a lot of things? I had misread code and the properties were actually part of a form/multipart-data input that I was having trouble doing what I wanted

Once I get a few days free, I'd be up for trying a PR that tries to add this functionality. Just wanted to see your thoughts on it
