Are you using Java 8 or later? Hibernate 5.2 requires at least Java 8.

com.sun.xml.internal.stream.events.EntityReferenceEvent cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.events.Characters.

i don’t know how proceeding

thank’s

That’s strange indeed. Are you running that via the IDE or Maven?

Try this:

<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase?useSSL=false</property>
<property name="connection.serverTimezone">UTC</property>
<property name="connection.useLegacyDatetimeCode">false</property>
