I just finished posting this issue on SO about Lombok not generating my getters/setters. It turns out that it is conflicting with AspectJ. If I disable AspectJ, then the getters/setters are appropriately generated.

My guess is that the ajc compiler is not able to recognize lombok.

Are Lombok and AspectJ mutually exclusive? Do both technologies work together?

Maybe we can close the issue here with this answer and report back when the problem is solved.
