Lombok and AspectJ

Question

Im trying to use Lombok in combination with AspectJ and Maven. So, what's the problem? When i use the AspectJ Maven Plugin (www.mojohaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/), it takes the sources and compiles them and ignores changes made by Lombok. I followed this tutorial and came up with this code and AspectJ works, but Lombok dies with this message:

[WARNING] You aren't using a compiler supported by lombok, so lombok will not work and has been disabled. Your processor is: org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.BatchProcessingEnvImpl Lombok supports: sun/apple javac 1.6, ECJ 

So, does anyone know how to get Lombok in combination with AspectJ working?

[EDIT] IT WORKS! Now, it seems to work when i package the project to a fat jar. But it still does not work with maven:test and IntelliJ. I'd be happy if anyone had a fix for this.

Best regards!

Use ajc to process classes.

<plugin>             <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>             <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>             <version>1.11</version>              <configuration>                 <complianceLevel>8</complianceLevel>                 <source>8</source>                 <target>8</target>                 <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>                 <verbose>true</verbose>                 <Xlint>ignore</Xlint>                 <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>                   <!-- IMPORTANT-->                 <excludes>                     <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>                 </excludes>                 <forceAjcCompile>true</forceAjcCompile>                 <sources/>                 <!-- IMPORTANT-->                   <aspectLibraries>                     <aspectLibrary>                         <groupId>you.own.aspect.libary</groupId>                         <artifactId>your-library</artifactId>                     </aspectLibrary>                 </aspectLibraries>              </configuration>             <executions>                 <execution>                     <id>default-compile</id>                     <phase>process-classes</phase>                     <goals>                         <!-- use this goal to weave all your main classes -->                         <goal>compile</goal>                     </goals>                     <configuration>                         <weaveDirectories>                             <weaveDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</weaveDirectory>                         </weaveDirectories>                     </configuration>                 </execution>                 <execution>                     <id>default-testCompile</id>                     <phase>process-test-classes</phase>                     <goals>                         <!-- use this goal to weave all your test classes -->                         <goal>test-compile</goal>                     </goals>                     <configuration>                         <weaveDirectories>                             <weaveDirectory>${project.build.directory}/test-classes</weaveDirectory>                         </weaveDirectories>                     </configuration>                 </execution>             </executions>         </plugin>

Use delombok to generate normal source code. And then proceed as you would if Lombok were not being used.

Store your Lombok-annotated code in main/src/lombok (for example) and then have the delombok plugin convert these annotations into normal code and into the directory /delomboked (for example).
