Lombok problems with Eclipse Oxygen

Question

I upgraded recently to the new Eclipse version (Oxygen). I downloaded the lombok.jar from the website and installed it. This is how the eclipse.ini looks like after installation:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar
--launcher.library
C:Usersxxx.p2poolpluginsorg.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.500.v20170531-1133

-Doomph.redirection.index.redirection=index:/->http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/
-javaagent:lombok.jar

I can use Lombok as seen here:

But when using the getters/setters and/or constructors in other classes I get the this errors:

Also these are my Eclipse and Lombok versions:

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Oxygen Release (4.7.0)
Build id: 20170620-1800
Lombok v1.16.18 "Dancing Elephant" is installed. https://projectlombok.org/

Anyone knows how I can fix it?

Answer 1

My env: java version "1.8.0_144"

Eclipse: Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Oxygen Release (4.7.0) Build id: 20170620-1800

1. Exit Eclipse(if it is open) and downloaded jar from https://projectlombok.org/download

2. execute command: java -jar lombok.jar

3. This command will open window as shown here https://projectlombok.org/setup/eclipse, install and quit the installer.

4. Add jar to build path/add it to pom.xml.

   e.g. for Gradle build

 annotationProcessor("org.projectlombok:lombok")
 compileOnly("org.projectlombok:lombok")

5. restart eclipse.
6. Go to Eclipse --> About Eclipse --> check 'Lombok v1.16.18 "Dancing Elephant" is installed. https://projectlombok.org/'
7. To enable Lombok for the project: Enable annotation processing in the respective IDE. That's it. It worked. I did not change eclipse init script.

Note: Read the note in following image regarding -vm options If you start Eclipse with a custom -vm parameter, you'll need to add:

-vmargs -javaagent:<path-to-lombok-jar>/lombok.jar

as parameter as well

Above steps works for Photon Release (4.8.0) - Lombok v1.18.2, eclipse: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a) - Lombok v1.18.0 and eclipse: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3) - Lombok v1.18.2

lombok success screen:

fyi,
For JDK - 10 and 11 support: Lombok version should be at least v1.18.4 (October 30th, 2018) or higher.
