Lombok and AspectJ

Question

Im trying to use Lombok in combination with AspectJ and Maven. So, what's the problem? When i use the AspectJ Maven Plugin (www.mojohaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/), it takes the sources and compiles them and ignores changes made by Lombok. I followed this tutorial and came up with this code and AspectJ works, but Lombok dies with this message:

[WARNING] You aren't using a compiler supported by lombok, so lombok will not work and has been disabled.
Your processor is: org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.BatchProcessingEnvImpl
Lombok supports: sun/apple javac 1.6, ECJ

So, does anyone know how to get Lombok in combination with AspectJ working?

[EDIT] IT WORKS! Now, it seems to work when i package the project to a fat jar. But it still does not work with maven:test and IntelliJ. I'd be happy if anyone had a fix for this.

Best regards!

Use ajc to process classes.
