Liquibase cannot find my entity classes to generate diff in spring project

Question

Liquibase cannot find my entity classes(JPA annotated) inside given package to generate diff.

when I use mvn liquibase:diff command It says No changes found, nothing to do but my entities have new fields

I use spring framweork, JPA(hibernate), Liquibase, liquibase-hibernate

and here are my codes:

liquibase.properties

referenceUrl=hibernate:spring:model.entity.persistent?dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect
changeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-changeLog.xml
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
username=username
password=password
driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
diffChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-diff-changeLog-8.xml

pom.xml liquibase-hibernate config

liquibase.properties

referenceUrl=hibernate:spring:ch.karthi.liquibase.jpa.update.entities?dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
    referenceDriver=liquibase.ext.hibernate.database.connection.HibernateDriver
    referenceDefaultSchemaName=liquibasetest
    driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/liquibasetest
    username=USERNAME
    password=PASSWORD
    defaultSchemaName=liquibasetest
    changeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-changeLog.xml
    diffChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-diff-changeLog-8.xml
    outputChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-changeLog.xml

and it worked without any problem.
