Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.tools.javac.code.TypeTags when using lombok

Question

I have following dependency in pom.xml:

    org.projectlombok
    lombok         


        

Answer 1

I always managed to resolve this issue with numerous old projects using older version of Lombok by simply upgrading the Lombok version

With this upgrade of Lombok; for projects with heavy memory during test running phases I have also had to start specifying memory configurations for maven-surefire-plugin which generally seems to now need more memory to avoid Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.18.1:test failed: The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called? errors

See below for example working pom.xml configs

  
    ...
    1.18.2
    ...
  

  
    ...
    
      org.projectlombok
      lombok
      ${lombok.version}
      provided
