Command line used for generation

java -jar openapi-generator-cli-5.0.0-beta.jar generate -i test.json -g java -o .\output --additional-properties dateLibrary=java8-localdatetime

Steps to reproduce

Run the command above;
View generated Request.java which contains the following invalid variable initialization:

@javax.annotation.Generated(value = "org.openapitools.codegen.languages.JavaClientCodegen", date = "2020-07-24T10:22:22.238+10:00[Australia/Sydney]")
public class Request {
  public static final String SERIALIZED_NAME_END_DATE = "endDate";
  @SerializedName(SERIALIZED_NAME_END_DATE)
  private LocalDate endDate = 1900-01-01; // <--- Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to LocalDate

  public static final String SERIALIZED_NAME_START_DATE = "startDate";
  @SerializedName(SERIALIZED_NAME_START_DATE)
  private LocalDate startDate;
  ...

None known.

Suggest a fix

In the toDefaultValue(Schema) method of org.openapitools.codegen.languages.AbstractJavaCodegen the default value for a date is returned as a String representation of the date, but should probably be a call to LocalDate.parse or similar.

@seantreg thanks for reporting the issue. The correct code should look like the following?

  private LocalDate endDate = LocalDate.parse("1900-01-01"); 

UPDATE: just tested locally to confirm the above compiles without issues.
