Java constant in named query are not recognized as valid during meta model generation. If @CheckHQL annotation is present,, processing will result in error. Otherwise, warning will be issued.

Reason for this problem is in methodorg.hibernate.query.hql.internal.BasicDotIdentifierConsumer.BaseLocalSequencePart#resolvePathPart

Here class loader still does not have all classes loaded and will return null and throw SemanticException.

Test case for this issue is not simple to create because existing CompilationTest is inheriting classpath .

Minimal example to reproduce this problem is created on github
