The problem was in the installation, I hadn't included the right hibernate version and also hadn't updated since I added .

To see the JPA Buddy tool windows you need:

Make sure you have hibernate-core, EclipseLink or Spring Data JPA dependency: https://www.jpa-buddy.com/documentation/#dependencies. Also make sure it is correct and reimport dependencies.
Make sure you haven't enabled the minimalistic mode: https://www.jpa-buddy.com/documentation/minimalistic-mode/#enabling-minimalistic-mode
After the major IntelliJ IDEA update, make sure you updated JPA Buddy and restarted an IDE.
