Building with Lombok's @Slf4j and Eclipse: Cannot find symbol log

Question

I have the lombok plugin in Eclipse and enabled annotation processing in Eclipse under java compiler, but still it is unable to recognize the log statements when I use @Slf4

Answer 1

I got the same error even after Lombok was installed. For me the solution was to add another lombok annotation (i used @Data) to my class after which the eclipse errors went away. Perhaps this force refreshed some cache.

Of course, I simply deleted the @Data annotation afterwards.
