The Hibernate JPA modelgen version is now set to 7.2.1.Final here, but the Maven compiler plugin still configures hibernate-jpamodelgen under annotationProcessorPaths using ${hibernate.version} (defined by the Spring Boot parent). That means the annotation processor used during compilation may remain on the Spring Boot-managed Hibernate version (likely 6.x), while the compile classpath pulls in 7.2.1—leading to inconsistent metamodel generation and potential classpath/version conflicts. Consider using a single version source for both (e.g., set the dependency version to ${hibernate.version} or update the annotationProcessorPaths entry to 7.2.1.Final and ensure the runtime Hibernate ORM stack is upgraded/compatible as well).
