Swagger for SpringMVC - Alternatives to Springfox?
You could try using the Swagger Maven Plugin, which is a build time annotation processor. If you're using spring-boot with JaxRS you could use Swagger-Core, which is pretty similar to SpringFox. It knows how to interpret JAX-RS annotations rather than the spring annotations. With all of these libraries that infer based on implementation or annotations, you are going to encounter bugs/problems when you have esoteric service definitions, or scenarios the library authors haven't thought about.
If your goal is just to document the RESTful endpoints, there is the excellent Spring Rest Docs, which allows you to write documentation driven by tests. It even allows you to add hand-written documentation that can augment your generated documentation. However, it keep in mind that it does not generate the service specification in a machine readable form.
That said, being the library author for SpringFox, it would be useful if you could create specific issues to problems you're encountering with SpringFox. This will help improve the library for you and anyone else encountering the same bugs/issues. You can certainly rant on stack overflow, but Im afraid that may only get your question down votes at best.
