Hibernate jpamodelgen does not generate entities from another library

Question

I am working on a spring boot project. I have entities like bellow:

 class Entity extends AbstractEntity{
    }

Entity.java is in my project. AbstractEntity.class comes from another library. I was using eclipselink to generate metamodel. I had no problem because eclipselink does not even generate the AbstractEntity so it generates only:

class Entity_ {
}

I migrate my projet from eclipselink to hibernate. Hibernate generates well my Entity class but not the AbstractEntity class (which is not in my project). It generates somthing like this:

class Entity_ extends AbstractEntity_ {
}

Since AbstractEntity was not generated so I had cannot found symbol AbstractEntity_ error.

Actually I don't need AbstractEntity to be generated. So is there a way to ignore it or at least to generate it so i avoid this problem.

Answer 1

I guess AbstractEntity is annotated with @MappedSuperclass or @Entity? In that case you are out of luck. The only possible "workaround" is to create this AbstractEntity_ by hand.
