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

I have following dependency in pom.xml:

    org.projectlombok
    lombok         


        

Answer 1

This happened with me when I installed maven with brew which also installed Java.15.x that leads to this error.

To validate, add debug option -X while building with maven and check the Java version that maven is using.

Delete the Java.15x directory and set JAVA_HOME in your .bashrc with the correct version of Java.
