PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
• Run the following to build the project and update samples:

  ./mvnw clean package || exit
  ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
  ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
  

  (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
  Commit all changed files.
  This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
  These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
  You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
• File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
• If your PR solves a reported issue, reference it using GitHub's linking syntax (e.g., having "fixes #123" present in the PR description)
• If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.

Summary by cubic

Removed springfox from the Spring generator and migrated samples/tests to springdoc-openapi with OpenAPI v3 annotations across Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. This is a breaking change for users relying on documentationProvider: springfox.

• Refactors

  • Dropped SPRINGFOX from SpringCodegen supported providers; only bootstrap Swagger UI when using SOURCE.
  • Updated generator docs for supported documentation providers.
  • Updated config presets to use documentationProvider: springdoc (or commented where unused) across Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and HTTP interface configs.
  • Regenerated samples/tests to use OpenAPI v3 annotations (@Schema, @Parameter, @ParameterObject); adjusted tests accordingly.
  • Switched sample POMs from io.springfox:* to org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-ui; updated imports and bumped Spring Boot parents to 2.7.x where needed.
  • Removed Springfox-specific code and assets (SpringFoxConfiguration, static Swagger UI, /v2/api-docs); added SpringDocConfiguration.
  • Removed obsolete ModelFile from samples.

• Migration

  • Set documentationProvider: springdoc in generator configs.
  • Replace io.springfox:* with org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-ui, move to io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations, and use /v3/api-docs.
