I want to use Lombok in a project to use @Getter and @Setter.

I included using Maven:

    <dependency>

        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>

        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>

        <version>1.12.6</version>

        <scope>provided</scope>

    </dependency>

Import is OK for Netbeans:

import lombok.Getter;

import lombok.Setter;

But auto setters and getters don't work (no autocompletion / "cannot find symbol ...").

Strange thing is that for another project I have it's working fine! But I can't figure the differences.

I tested to:

• change the lombok version (even the last): for any version, the import don't work anymore




• build the project with Maven: it's OK!




• use Eclipse: it's OK! (but I am the only one to decide unfortunately)

=> so I'm sure this is a Netbeans related problem

• enable annotation processing, as I've seen in tutorials=> I don't have such option in my project properties

Any idea ?

I found a solution on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/project-lombok/xbgzA86pvJs

=> update version of maven-compiler-plugin was the only way to make it work

In Netbeans 8.2 using Apache Maven 3.5.4 use Lombok 1.18.4 or much older 1.16.16.

In Netbeans 10.0/9.0 using Apache Maven 3.5.4 use Lombok 1.18.4, older versions of Lombok are really buggy when Compile On Save is used in Netbeans 10.0/9.0

I updated Lombok to a new version

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>

    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>

    <scope>provided</scope>

    <version>1.18.4</version> <!--1.18.4 OR 1.16.16 for Netbeans 8 with Java 8 -->

</dependency>

This worked with us:

• remove <scope>provided</scope> from the Lombok dependency


• clean and build the project


• change the Lombok version (we changed from 1.16.20 to 1.16.16)


• clean and build the project


• restore the Lombok version and put back <scope>provided</scope>
  


• clean and build the project

configure the pom

<properties>

    <src.dir>src/main/java</src.dir>

</properties>



<profiles>

    <profile>

        <id>lombok-build</id>

        <properties>

            <src.dir>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/delombok</src.dir>

        </properties>

    </profile>

</profiles>



<dependencies>

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>

    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>

    <version>1.16.8</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

    <build>

        <sourceDirectory>${src.dir}</sourceDirectory>

    <plugins>

        <plugin>

            <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>

            <artifactId>lombok-maven-plugin</artifactId>

            <version>1.16.16.0</version>

            <executions>

                <execution>

                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>

                    <goals>

                        <goal>delombok</goal>

                    </goals>

                    <configuration>

                        <sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>

                        <addOutputDirectory>false</addOutputDirectory>

                    </configuration>

                </execution>

            </executions>

        </plugin>

    </plugins>

</build>

Then, specify lombok-build as the active profile for various actions (build, debug etc) under Project Properties->Actions->Activate Profiles.

At this blog there is a github sample project and the configuration with pictures to use lastest version of maven+netbeans+lombok, that works for me.
