Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the POJO-to-JSON-Schema export flow and how field annotations are currently read, then determine the supported Hibernate Validator annotations and the expected schema output for each. Done means validator constraints are exported for every applicable field and covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Most Java POJOs these days use Hibernate Validators to annotate fields: NotNull, NotEmpty, Size, Min, Max, regex pattern, etc.

That is badly missing information in the exported JSON schema, which makes contract definition via JSON incomplete.

Since Validators are pretty much a part of the standard Java stack by now, would be great if this module could read all the validators and export info about them for every field.
