Lombok not working in eclipse mars

Question

I have eclipse version: "Mars Release (4.5.0)"

I have downloaded latest lombok jar from: https://projectlombok.org/download.html

I executed:

java -jar lombok.jar install $eclipseDir

After this I can see lombok.jar in my eclipse directory and eclipse.ini.

Restarted eclipse with: eclipse -clean

But still lombok is not working for me.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. What helped was:

1. Restart Eclipse
2. Select from top menu Project -> Clean...
3. Clean all projects that use Lombok

If it will not help, try again from point 1. (I know it sounds stupid but it worked on my PC on second try.)

Also, I'm using Lombok version 1.16.4 (and Eclipse Mars of course)

BTW: Make sure that you have lombok.jar in the eclipse directory.

Answer 2

I have solved the same problem, here are my steps

1. check eclipse.ini, make sure lombok is properly installed
2. restart eclipse
3. project->clean, clean your project
4. window->show view->problems, Ctrl+A to select ALL errors, right click & delete
5. project->clean, clean your project again

I think that should work.

Answer 3

I was facing the same issue in Eclipse Neon.2 and in STS 3.8.3 the solution was

1. Download the Lombok jar from https://projectlombok.org/download.html

2. Execute java -jar lombok.jar

3. Configure the Eclipse or STS and install. It will copy the lombok.jar under Eclipse dir and add the line -javaagent:../Eclipse/lombok.jar in eclipse.ini or STS.ini
4. Make sure in About eclipse -> Installation Details -> Configuration -javaagent:../Eclipse/lombok.jar line exists
5. If it's a git project then delete the project from workspace and import the project again. or else export the project and then import it again Hope it helps someone!
