Not really but I'm not a heavy user of the metamodel. We mostly use
QueryDSL to write our queries now.

I took a look at them this afternoon (thus my previous email) and I
don't think I'm a good choice to fix the remaining ones as they are
really on parts of jpamodelgen/Hibernate I don't use or know. I want
to work on some Hibernate Search stuff in the next few days so I don't
think I'll be able to help more on this front.

I updated the Maven versions in this pull request this afternoon as I
thought it might be useful:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-metamodelgen/pull/7 .
