Answer 1

As pointed out by user @Jcs in another answer, i would like to add more.

In our project we, are using mapstruct which is used to generate mapper classes, before the code is compiled, using mvn generate-sources command, this is done at process phase using maven processor plugin.

project lombok adds the bytecode for the getter/setter in class file at compile phase.

since process phase is executed before the compile, it finds that there is no getter/setter available in class.

There are some workarounds available to execute compile phase more than one. See this git hub ticket for more details.

Note : I am using STS ide by Spring and it is supported by lombok :)
