   > Have you thought about/considered something like 
https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-open-api (just an example, but there 
are other libs available as well), which allows you to add OpenAPI annotations 
directly to your Java code, so that the OpenAPI spec+docs and the code are all 
at one place?
   
   Right now, the main thing is to have something to discuss, and being able to 
paste this file into the swagger UI makes it really easy to discuss the API.
   
   Longer term, I'm not sure what the best path will be to maintain the API 
definition, but I'm really reluctant to publish whatever happens to be in the 
Java implementation through annotations. While that's an easy way to keep the 
code and the definition in sync, it is probably not a great way to manage a 
specification that is portable. It's too easy to refactor Java and make 
unintended changes to the OpenAPI spec, right? Maybe I'm wrong here, but it 
seems easy to mess up the API that way.
