This dependency duplicates the classes from jakarta.persistence:jakarta.persistence-api
Comment From: wilkinsona
Thanks for the pull request, but I don't believe this change is necessary. Hibernate switched away from its own API dependency in the 5.3 betas. If you're downgrading Hibernate to 5.2 then you may have to declare some exclusions of your own, but as far as I can tell our starter doesn't need any.
