Description

After managing to get Log4j to insert the log events in a DB using JPA, I'm trying to query them using typesafe Criteria queries.

The problem is that since my entity extends BasicLogEventEntity, the generated metamodel also extends the metamodel for BasicLogEventEntity, which doesn't exist.

Reading HHH-8711, I see it's not possible for the generator to process classes inside jars, hence the request to generate them and include them in the jar.
