Description

The @Generated annotation will be added to any generated static metamodel class, no matter the annotation is available.
From Java9 upwards, this annotation is not on the classpath anymore (by default), leading to compile errors.

I would suggest to add either an override parameter (similar to hibernate, -AaddGeneratedAnnotation=false, see https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.0/topical/html/metamodelgen/MetamodelGenerator.html

Or
detect whether the annotation is on the classpath.
