I have a root module and submodule in maven in the project. I am trying to use Lombok. I have added
<dependency>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
<version>1.16.12</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
to root pom.xml. In submodule I have a class with Lombok annotations. When I am trying to build the project I get a lot of
cannot find symbol
where I am trying to call getters and setters.
I have tried to use lombok-maven-plugin with same version (1.16.12) in root pom and in the sub pom as well with delombok and moving my annotated class to src/main/lombok, I have looked through almost all questions in SO, try all the variants, but not succeed.
I am using Maven 3, Java 8, maven-compiler-plugin with 3.6.1 version.
How should I configure the project to be able to use lombok? Or maybe I am doing smth wrong.
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.
