Receiving HHH015007 Illegal argument on static metamodel field injection Error During Quarkus Startup with Hibernate Envers

Question

In learning Quarkus, I encountered an issue during the startup of my YOUR SECOND QUARKUS APPLICATION, which I extended to use Hibernate Envers for auditing. The application shows an IllegalArgumentException error related to static metamodel field injection that I can't figure out. Despite this, Hibernate creates the audit tables, and after performing some transactions, I can see audit data. But I'd like to understand what is causing the error.

Below is the FULL login showing the specific error message:

I initially: Started using hibernate-orm-panache extension with ActiveRecord pattern. Switched to Repository pattern to see if the automatic entity @id would be causing the problem. I switched to the hibernate-orm and added a Sequence generator, but I had no luck.

Here is the Entity definition:

import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import org.hibernate.envers.Audited;

import java.time.LocalDate;

@Entity
@Audited
public class Person {
    @Id
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "personSeq", sequenceName = "person_id_seq", allocationSize = 1, initialValue = 1)
    @GeneratedValue(generator = "personSeq")
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private LocalDate birth;
    private Status status;

    public Long getId(){
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Long id){
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public LocalDate getBirth() {
        return birth;
    }
    public void setBirth(LocalDate birth) {
        this.birth = birth;
    }
    public Status getStatus() {
        return status;
    }
    public void setStatus(Status status) {
        this.status = status;
    }
}

This looks like a bug in Hibernate Envers: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17612
