Dont apply useOptional globally like models

[metalpalo]

Hi,

I use obsolete version 4.3.1 of pluging to generate server stubs and pojos for spring boot java with useOptional, that means it java Optional wrapper is used in method parameters when required false.

Now I want to upgrade to newer version, maybe newest one and after generation I see that optionals are used also for model fields and it breaks my compiled code and it would require a lot of refactoring.

Would be possible to create some additional config option like useModelOptional to achieve backward compatibility with 4.3.1 for instance?

Or exist some workarounf how to do it?

thanks

@metalpalo I also find it very annoying. See discussion in #17202
