Swagger IO: Automate client code generation

The [Swagger.IO Editor] UI is great for generating code, but sometimes you want to automate the whole process. You might have to do that if your REST API has upcoming changes and if you always want to keep your client up to date.

[swagger-codegen]

Make sure you have [JDK7] (or better) and [Maven] in your path.

[Getting Started] shows a quick example for getting the project with GIT clone and generating a client on the command-line.

1 GIT Clone [tgraupmann-swagger-codegen]

2 Run [maven_clean_package] after cloning the repo

3 The [generate_java_clients.cmd] script will auto-generate the Razer Arena JAVA clients.

@todo: [automate these changes in the swagger java templates]

Implemented: Get the changes with a [Pull Request]

NDK Target 23

Here is a strange [NDK issue]. I had to move the native code to its own module with a min SDK, target SDK, and compile tools set to API 21 in order to get the native library to load properly. This started happening after upgrading to `android-ndk-r12b`.

Swagger.io Java Client

[Swagger] is a powerful open source framework backed by a large ecosystem of tools that helps you design, build, document, and consume your RESTful APIs.

The [Swagger Editor] will autogenerate code for a ton of languages.

I was having [some trouble with the Swagger Android client] but it turns out the JAVA export also works on Android.

I was able to [automate] the [changes] needed to make the JAVA client run on Android.

From now on, keeping REST clients updated should be a snap using [Swagger]!

**Note on code generation issues**
Please open an issue in [Swagger Codegen] repository for any issue with generating code or issues with generated codes.

[Ambiguous Object]
[Generating Enum Values]

Made a temporary [Windows.Forms] project to automate syntax fixes.

Two potential devs that worked on the Java client.
[David Kiss] from Toronto, Canada
[Xu Hui Hui] from Lianyungang, China

I do have [some questions] about the Swagger Android client.
