scaffold from-entity conflicting type

When I issue the command
scaffold from-entity ~.model.* --overwrite
the generated entity bean has conflicting type for id:short and methods that have it as an argument id:long. See the following two snippets.

Snippet 1
/*

• Support creating and retrieving Actor entities
  */

private Short id;

Snippet 2

public Actor findById(Long id)

{ return this.entityManager.find(Actor.class, id); }
