Description

Hi, I am using Swagger codegen 2.1.5 and generating client code for different languages. I am setting customized mustache from supporting file by extending swagger. As per my observationby default swagger looks for mustache template in resource/[language specific] folder. But if I change resource folder structure like resource/mustacheTemplates/[language specific] then it is failing to find the files. So to resolve this issues we required to override getFullTemplateFile method from DefaultGenerator to provide customized resource paths.

Is it possible to provide customized resource path from any additional property? It will save the efforts require to override getFullTemplateFile method.

Research direction
Investigate the getFullTemplateFile method in DefaultGenerator class. Understand how template paths are resolved from language specific folders. Look at existing issues and comments for discussion on custom template directories. Propose adding an additional property to allow users to specify a custom resource path for templates.
