Lombok is not generating getter and setter

Question

I just tried to send a Maven-based project to another computer and HORROR, red markers everywhere!!

However, mvn clean install is building just fine.

Quickly, I noticed that Lombok is not generating getters and setters for my classes, although the @Getter and @Setter are being correctly recognised by Eclipse.

Both computers use the same Maven version (3.0.4) but different JDKs (1.6_23 and 1.6_33). They both use Eclipse Indigo 32 bit. Do you have an idea about how to solve the problem?

Solution 1

When starting with a fresh eclipse installation you, in fact, need to "install" Lombok before being able to use it.

1. Go where you Lombok jar is (e.g. (e.g. you can find in ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/1.16.10/lombok-1.16.10.jar), run it (Example: java -jar lombok-1.16.10.jar). A window should appear, browse to your eclipse.exe location.
2. Click on install.
3. Launch Eclipse, update project configuration on all projects and voila.

Solution 2

• If you use STS. You must have Lombok installed in your Eclipse by running lombok-xyz.jar

• Please Try the Following the Steps:

  1. Include pom in Maven .
  2. Exit/Shutdown STS
  3. Find lombok Jar in ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/version.x

  4. From Command Prompt/Shell java -jar lombok-1.x.y.jar

  5. Start STS

Thats all.

EDIT: I did this and was still showing errors, as mentioned in the comments. So I updated the project: right-click on project -> Maven -> Update Project and the errors disappeared.

Solution 3

Note that if you're using IntelliJ, you'll want to install the Lombok plugin (available from IDE settings) and also enable annotation processing.

Solution 4

Download Lombok Jar, let’s maven do the download on our behalf :

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <version>1.16.18</version>
    </dependency>

Now... mvn clean install command on the newly created project to get this jar downloaded in local repository. Goto the jar location, execute the command prompt, run the command : java -jar lombok-1.16.18.jar

click on the “Specify Location” button and locate the eclipse.exe path LIKE :

finally install this by clicking the “Install/Update”

Solution 5

If you use eclipse. You must have lombok installed in your Eclipse by running lombok-xyz.jar (e.g. you can find in ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/1.12.6/lombok-1.12.6.jar).

As the window of installation opened, you must choose the location of your Eclipse. And let it install lombok inside. You must restart your Eclipse afterwards.

I did all the above steps BUT it wasn't working still. I looked at pom.xml again and commented out <!-- <optional>true</optional> --> which came by default. I later add this <!-- <scope>provided</scope> --> but commented it out as well.

[Net Dawg]

Why does only Lombok seem to have this problem, seems by design (to get attention)? Decorators from other annotation jars seem to just work after importing.

[nanosoft]

If even after doing above steps it doesn't work, then EXIT and START eclipse again. Simple File->Restart doesn't work. Explicit EXIT and Start is necessary.

[nanosoft]

"Explicitly exit and then start again. ". Normal File-->Restart doesn't work.

[Heetola]

I believe I did this while eclipse was closed

[nanosoft]

If it was closed then fine it work with next start. But if it is already started and Explicit EXIT and start is required.

Well done @Elidosa --- It's working, but yes need to Exit and start eclipse , only restart does't work

[Aditya]

I also needed to clean the projects to remove compilation errors

[PAA]

Still I am facing the issue not sure whats wrong is going on ?

[GoutamS]

Do you have any error message? Can you import the class in your Pojo Files?

[GoutamS]

@Prateek In case of not working, please change lombok version.And try again

[Vikash]

thanks nanosoft!.. I was doing File>restart and it wasn't working..had tried everything

[ArifMustafa]

I download the lombok.jar manually, ran it and later restarted eclipse and rebuilded projects, it's worked!...

when I am trying to execute jar getting "Invalid or corrupt jarfile lombok-1.18.2.jar" What to do???

[Vaibs]

Still several would have come to this thread when they were facing the same thing and not knowing if the plugin is needed for the IntelliJ. thumbs up

[sanimalp]

If any of the above still don't work, ensure the project can be otherwise built/compiled using maven/gradle. Then, delete the project from your workspace, and re-import it, ensuring the project build invocation completes successfully with lombok references in place.

[Vikki]

Just upgrade the Lombok Plugin in Intellij Idea and restart the IDE

[Derick Daniel]

This is the simplest solution i ve found till now. It worked. Thanks.

[YazidEF]

here I am in year 2020 still finding your post useful. Thanks!

[Rajeev]

I had same issue tried everything but didn't work. Then what I did is, I installed fresh and before doing anything I installed Lombok. It worked. Also, make sure that you start with the fresh workspace. It didn't work with the old one.

[Ben]

I followed all steps you described but with eclipse 2019-12 and lombok 1.18.12, eclipse does not recognize that there is a \@getter or \@setter annotation in my model. Is there even a getter or setter generated by lombok?

How come this answer didn't have even a single vote. THis really helped. Thanks a ton.
