title: How to generate C# client from Swagger 1.2 spec?
body: <p>There seems to be millions of options out there for every platform, but I'm struggling to find a simple solution for C#. All the ones I have found seem to have given me trouble: either they simply don't work (e.g. <a href="http://swaggercodegen.azurewebsites.net/" rel="noreferrer">http://swaggercodegen.azurewebsites.net/</a>), or only support 2.0 (e.g. <a href="https://github.com/Azure/autorest" rel="noreferrer">AutoRest</a> and <a href="https://github.com/NSwag/NSwag" rel="noreferrer">NSwag</a>). Half the tools are not even clear what versions they support :-(</p>
  
  <p>I'm aware of the <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/" rel="noreferrer">official tool</a>, but that requires JDK 7 which is not currently an option for me.</p>
  
  <p>In desperation I have even tried converting the swagger spec to 2.0, but half the conversion tools I tried didn't work, gave conflicting advice, or I couldn't figure out how to use (I found myself knee deep in nodejs very quickly...is this really the brave new world?! Bring back WSDL ;-) ).</p>
