Hibernate ORM does depend on jboss-logging version 3.1.0.GA. It also depends on hibernate-commons-annotations version 4.0.1.Final which in turn depends on a different version of jboss-logging. However, hibernate-commons-annotations is separate Hibernate project - https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HCANN

Given that ORM explicitly depends on jboss-logging version 3.1.0.GA that is the version which should be used. This is also what mvn dependency:tree reports (using your pom):

Which btw is consistent what gradlew dependencies in the hibernate-core module reports.
