Lombok not working with STS

Question

Although I love lombok, it gives too much problems while configuring sometimes, specially in Linux. When I was trying to install it, I was getting the following error:

Answer 1

Follow these steps:

1. download lombok from https://projectlombok.org/download
2. double click on lombok.jar and specify the path of your ide and click install.
3. Restart your ide.
4. clean your project. If you are using eclipse or sts, click on Project->clean..

Answer 2

If you download the version of STS below and follow the set up. Lombok works with STS perfectly.

Version: 4.7.0.RELEASE Build Id: 202006181331

Lombok v1.18.12 "Envious Ferret" is installed. https://projectlombok.org/

Answer 3

I had this problem despite successfully installing lombok and restarting STS, so:

• shutting down STS and
• starting it

worked (as opposed to restarting it). See this: http://codeomitted.com/setup-lombok-with-stseclipse-based-ide/

Lombok not generating getter and setter STS

Answer 5

I have the same issue of lombok not working on STS. For me root cause was that I have spaces in my STS installation directory

-javaagent:E:\Installation Directory with spaces\sts-X.X\lombok.jar

in STS.iniand after changing it to relative path

-javaagent:lombok.jar

lombok started working.

Answer 6

It worked for me when I push the -javaagent arg to the top of the varargs list and restart the STS. By default Lombok adds this argument at the end in the ini file when you install. Eg:

-vmargs
-javaagent:lombok.jar
