Answer 1

If you have successfully installed Lombok and still facing the problem then right click on your project > maven > update project this should work.

Answer 2

If restarting Eclipse doesn't help. You have to quit the application and make sure to kill all running java processes. That worked for me.

(Eclipse Oxygen 4.7.1a, OpenJDK 1.8.0_151-b12)

Answer 4

For Linux/Ubuntu users who are launching Eclipse from a launcher (a .desktop file) that is locked to your launcher, and your Help --> About dialog doesn't show lombok is installed:

1. Close Eclipse
2. Unlock Eclipse from your launcher
3. Start Eclipse from the .desktop application
4. Verify "Help --> About" indicates lombok is installed (scroll down)
5. Lock to your launcher again

It seems this works due to some issue with applications 'lock to launcher', and it's the unlock/lock process that fixes it.

I am using STS. After performing installation of lombok.jar shown above, need to perform following task. STS -> Project -> Properties -> Java Compiler -> Annotation Processing -> Enable Annotation Processing. See here

Answer 6

I had exactly the same problem with Alex. My eclipse version is

Version: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a) Build id: 20171005-1200

I installed lombok 1.16.18, after checking it was already installed and also javaagent line was added to my eclipse.ini file.

Every thing was fine except that there are compilation errors where getter is called in the project. It's awkward but I fixed by :

1. Cleaning project

2. Building project

3. Restarting eclipse a few times

Nothing else.
