swagger maven plugin documentation is not generated

Question

I am trying to generate swagger documentation using Swagger maven plugin

But nothing is created, this is plugin in details I entered:

<plugin>
    <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
    <artifactId>swagger-codegen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <inputSpec>/data/AMEE/ame/api.yaml</inputSpec>
                <language>java</language>
                <configOptions>
                   <sourceFolder>/data/AMEE/ame/gen</sourceFolder>
                </configOptions>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

It didn't create any documentation. Then I tried kongchen swagger maven plugin

Maven Dependency::

<dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.0</version>
        </dependency>

Annotate configuration class with and add below code in conf class.

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@EnableSwagger2


 @Bean
    public Docket api() { 
        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)  .apiInfo(apiInfo()).directModelSubstitute(LocalDate.class, String.class).genericModelSubstitutes(ResponseEntity.class)
                .useDefaultResponseMessages(false)
          .select()           
          .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())              
          .paths(PathSelectors.any())                        
          .build();      

    }
    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("swagger-ui.html")
          .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
          .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");
    }
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    private ApiInfo apiInfo() {
        ApiInfo apiInfo = new ApiInfo(
          " REST API",
          "XXX Rest API for XXX authentication and Loan creation.",
          "Mer V1.1",
          "Terms of service",
          "ER",
          "License of API",
          "");
        return apiInfo;
    }

Controller::

@RestController
@Api("/resource")
public class Controller {
}

After that hit below url in browser: http://localhost:ip/ApplicationName/swagger-ui.html
