This is not a direct answer to the question which seems to be solved but acts as reference for future searchers:

If you're using Dagger (or something else) to process your annotations like

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.7.0</version>
      <configuration>
        <annotationProcessorPaths>
          <path>
            <groupId>com.google.dagger</groupId>
            <artifactId>dagger-compiler</artifactId>
            <version>2.15</version>
          </path>
        </annotationProcessorPaths>
        <source>1.8</source>
        <target>1.8</target>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
    ....
  </plugins>
</build>

You have to add lombok as path like

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.7.0</version>
      <configuration>
        <annotationProcessorPaths>
          <path>
            <groupId>com.google.dagger</groupId>
            <artifactId>dagger-compiler</artifactId>
            <version>2.15</version>
          </path>

          <!-- SOLUTION --> 
          <path>
            <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
            <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
            <version>1.16.20</version>
          </path>


        </annotationProcessorPaths>
        <source>1.8</source>
        <target>1.8</target>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
    ....
  </plugins>
</build>

You still have to list lombok as provided dependency tho.
