@GenericGenerator in package-info.java not working JPA

Question

I'm trying to add a Generator on package-info.java so that I don't have to re-write same code on top of every @Entity class. But when I try to run the program Application I get an error.

Session Factory could not be created.org.hibernate.AnnotationException: 
Unknown Id.generator: ID_GENERATOR

If I apply @GenericGenerator on top on @Entity class it works just fine. Am I missing some key point here.

I found this tread but the answer posted there didn't work for me.

You should simply add the package that consists in itself GenericGenerator in your persistence.xml.

The example

<class>com.example.hibernate.model</class>
<class>com.example.hibernate.model.Student</class>
