lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor could not be initialized

my question somewhat relates to this post: Gradle build fails on Lombok annotated classes I am using jhipster and lombok 1.16.18 with a build.gradle as follows

...
apply plugin: 'net.ltgt.apt'
...
dependencies {
    provided "org.projectlombok:lombok:${lombok_version}"
    apt "org.projectlombok:lombok:${lombok_version}"
}
...

but get the following error during compileJava:

warning: lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor could not be initialized. 
Lombok will not run during this compilation: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.sun.tools.javac.api.ClientCodeWrapper$WrappedStandardJavaFileManager extends com.sun.tools.javac.api.ClientCodeWrapper$WrappedJavaFileManager implements javax.tools.StandardJavaFileManager

What am I missing here?

Output of gradlew -v shows that you are using JDK 9 which is not supported by JHipster 4.10.2, please use JDK 8. Same for Lombok.
