I have trying to run project as Maven generate-sources, Maven Build goal:compile, but still not create Metamodel class, even java folder not exist in generated-sources folder.
I am using Spring Tools Suite 3.9.4.RELEASE.
How to solve this problem...?

Remove the pluginmanagement xml tag comment out the dependencies defined in the mysema plugin and your Q-classes will be generated. Your plugins should be as follows:
<build>
<!--<pluginManagement>--> // Remove pluginManagement
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.mysema.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-apt-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources</outputDirectory>
<processor>com.querydsl.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<!--</pluginManagement>-->
</build>
