Answer 1

Just to add to M. Jordan's and prodigy's answer, please be sure to give execute permission to lombok.jar

(After you follow the above-mentioned step) Open terminal and change directory to the content of SpringToolSuite.app

cd /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse

Then check whether execute permission is available to lombok.jar

ls -al

If you see -rw-r--r-- it means you need to give execute permission

chmod +x lombok.jar

alternatively you could also do

chmod +x /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/lombok.jar

Then restart STS

Answer 2

the easiest way you can do is that by running the following command on command prompt

java -jar (jar location/lombok.1.8.1.jar) install (the path where you installed Spring tool suite(STS))

for example:

java -jar C:\Users\karthick\.m2\repository\org\projectlombok\lombok\1.18.8\lombok-1.18.8.jar install D:\STS_Tool\spring-tool-suite-4-4.1.2.RELEASE-e4.10.0-win32.win32.x86_64\sts-4.1.2.RELEASE

after that, you have to restart the tool.

Answer 3

I spent like 3 or 4 hours looking for a solution to the Lombok problem with springo book and eclipse, the solution I found on the internet was the following, I leave the link: (https://projectlombok.org/all- versions) where is the entire Lombok version and I chose the latest lombok version then updated the IDE and MVN and everything worked.

Answer 4

In my case, Lombok 1.16 could not locate STS 4 installation even after pointing to it manually. Worked only after I tried with updated Lombok version - Lombok 1.18.

Answer 5

None of the steps worked for me as the file dialog box won't even let me select the directory containing the SpringToolSuite4.ini

So I did the following:

1. Get lombok-<version>.jar from either your ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/<latest-version>/ If not available you can get it from mvn repository: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.projectlombok/lombok/1.18.6

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

   cp /path/to/lombok.jar /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/
   

3. Edit the file: /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuite4.ini inside the directory to add this last line:

   -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)

STEP 1

STEP 2 Click on Specify Location button to choose the path where STS is installed

STEP 3 Go to Application/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuit4.ini Then click on Install -> Quick Installer

STEP 4 Restart STS you good to go
