So my suggestion to the world is: never ever try to create jet another (buggy) implementation of property introspection or resolving of type variables. Instead use an existing solution that is proved to work correctly.

Must be so nice to start developing a library sometime after 2000. Before you start being all condescending you really ought to consider that Hibernate and Spring and many others have been around since way before Java even started supporting generics.

Also, nowhere does Hibernate claim to support generic classes. Hard for something to be a bug when it is not claimed to be supported (by definition).

We eagerly await your pull request incorporating your far superior reflection insights!
