I am trying to add groovy to an existing Java Maven project that leverages Lombok. Unfortunately when I enable the groovy-maven-eclipse compiler with the pom fragment below,

@Todd: The groovy-eclipse-compiler is the best choice if you don't need to developp maven plugin with some groovy tooling (see http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy-Eclipse+compiler+plugin+for+Maven).

@Ambience: you reached the issue related at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRECLIPSE-1293. This bug is now fixed with latest groovy-eclipse-compiler 2.6.1-01-SNAPSHOT.

Note: The latest version available is now 2.9.1-01, see http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/tools-groovyeclipse.html

You have to modify your pom like this:

    maven-compiler-plugin
    3.1
    
      groovy-eclipse-compiler
      true   
      true 
      
        lombok.launch.Agent
      
    
    
        
            org.codehaus.groovy
            groovy-eclipse-compiler
            2.9.1-01
        
        
        
            org.codehaus.groovy
            groovy-eclipse-batch
            2.3.7-01
        
        
            org.projectlombok
            lombok
            1.16.4
        
    

The mandatory parts:

true


    lombok.launch.Agent

The added dependency on lombok inside the maven-compiler-plugin

Edit: update versions
