What's happening in HyperJaxb3 project? - jaxb

Question

I understand that the Hyperjaxb3 library will be quite useful for my project, read a couple of descriptions across multiple sites, and decided to embed it into my Spring-Hibernate project.
I have found a reference to Hyperjaxb3 in https://jaxb.java.net/, which looks pretty official, but the hyperlink - http://confluence.highsource.org/display/HJ3/Home - doesn't open.
I have found some old POM examples, included it into my project, and located some of the old versions references, tried to eliminate them, but right now it seems that I am bumping into a dependency on an old Hibernate version, the error is like this:
java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.sun.tools.xjc.Plugin: Provider org.jvnet.hyperjaxb3.hibernate.plugin.HibernatePlugin could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/type/MutableType
I am wondering if there is better Maven entry, if the project is alive and how do I use it with moder Hibernate.
This is my pom excerpt about Hyperjaxb3, where I exclude some outdated links and specify the latest versions of other dependencies:

I am not currently trying to generate annotated Hibernate entity classes, but POJOs from the PurchaseOdrer example. This is what I currently do:
public void initializeModel(String name, InputStream src, String dir) throws IOException, URISyntaxException{
dir = Paths.get(new URL(dir).toURI()).toString();
File directory = new File(dir);
directory.mkdirs();
SchemaCompiler sc = XJC.createSchemaCompiler();
sc.setDefaultPackageName(this.getClass().getPackage().getName() + ".generated");
InputSource is = new InputSource(src);
is.setSystemId(name);
sc.parseSchema(is);
S2JJAXBModel model = sc.bind();
JCodeModel codeModel = model.generateCode(null, null);
CodeWriter cw = new FileCodeWriter(directory);
codeModel.build(cw);
}

Disclaimer: I'm the author of Hyperjaxb3.
The project is hosted on GitHub:
https://github.com/highsource/hyperjaxb3
The latest version 0.6.1 is functional, works as it should.
However, I don't develop it actively anymore.
Will it work with the current version of hibernate?
Version 0.6.1 works was tested with Hibernate 4.1.7. HJ3 is just a code generator which produces standard JPA-annotated classes. So chances are pretty good that it will work with latest versions of Hibernate.
I just can't get the 0.6.1 jar from Maven. Seems like it was eliminated from maven repositories.
Really? Still there.
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jvnet/hyperjaxb3/hyperjaxb3-ejb-plugin/0.6.1/
An I don't understand if I need the "hyperjaxb3-hibernate-plugin" 0.1 from the year 2011.
You definitely don't.
Or do you aware of any fork or an analog?
Unfortunately, nothing comes close.
