            .applySetting("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect")
            .applySetting("hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings", "true")
            .build();
    MetadataSources sources = new MetadataSources(standardRegistry);
    managedClassNames.forEach(sources::addAnnotatedClass);
    MetadataImplementor metadata = (MetadataImplementor) sources
            .getMetadataBuilder()
            .build();

    SchemaExport export = new SchemaExport(metadata);

Hopefully that help
