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 encountered this issue when upgrading my project from JDK 8 to JDK 12 and using gradle instead of maven and using the io.franzbecker:gradle-lombok gradle plugin to configure lombok automatically.

In this scenario changing buildScript.dependencies from classpath "io.franzbecker:gradle-lombok:1.14" to classpath "io.franzbecker:gradle-lombok:3.2.0" did the trick for me.
