NoClassDefFoundError TypedParameterValue when using eclipselink

[haube]

Hi there,

we followed this guide (https://www.baeldung.com/spring-eclipselink) to use eclipselink instead of hibernate.
So we have following exclusion in the pom file.

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
					<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
					<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
			</exclusions>
		</dependency>

Upgrading spring-boot form 2.7.7 to 2.7.8 i get the following error in one of our tests.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/jpa/TypedParameterValue
	at org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.query.QueryParameterSetter$NamedOrIndexedQueryParameterSetter.setParameter(QueryParameterSetter.java:95)

i guess the reason is this older issue #2544
which makes use of a hibernate dependency.

Removing the exclusion for hibernate-core makes the code run.

But i am unsure about side effects. Is it just excluded to safe some space in the artifact or does it enable some maybe unwanted spring magic by default.

This should also be candidate for backporting to 3.0.x since it involves HIbernate 6.
