[FIXED] Hibernate JPAModelGen 5.4.6.Final fails on JDK11

Issue

I am unable to build JPA2 projects after upgrading my JDK to 11 and getting errors, cannot find symbol. I checked and the package names have changed in 11. So, for instance:

Generated is no longer in:

javax.annotation

Now, it is in:

javax.annotation.processing

I have upgraded to the latest version of hibernate jpamodelgen (5.4.6.Final) and the latest version of the maven-processor-plugin (3.3.3).

However, it seems they do not yet support JDK11. Is that accurate?

Solution

I switched to JDK10 and that has resolved my build problem with JPA model gen. In the meantime, I am filing a bug report with Hibernate.

Note, that I had to depend on jsr250:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
  <artifactId>jsr250-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

I added this to a profile which is only activated for JPA2 projects along with performing the JPA2 modelgen plugin stuff.
