2. copy the lombok-.jar to /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse as lombok.jar

   -javaagent:/Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/lombok.jar
   

4. Open your project in eclipse. Right click on Maven -> update project. Follow similar step if you're using another build tool (like Gradle)
