Hibernate Commons Annotations is a utility project used by several Hibernate projects; as a user of Hibernate libraries you probably are not going to use this directly.
Its first scope is to support Java Generics type discovery. Its second scope is to support Java Annotations overriding through XML files (mainly but not conceptually limited to).
Since version 6.0 this project requires Java 11.
