FYI Kotlin still has some Issues with annotation processing so it's too early for having some cool lombok features.

Moreover it will not work on the same module:

https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-java-lombok-interop/1442

but the good news is that you can recue something with kapt see #1169

Hi is there any updates? thanks!

@fzyzcjy I don't even know what this issue is asking, so, I have no idea. But probably no updates now nor in the foreseeable future, whatever this is asking.

(It may be asking: I want to annotate things in my kotlin code and get lombok to generate kotlin code for me! - which is unlikely to ever happen. Or it is asking: When kotlinc is in mixed mode, compiling java files in addition to kotlin files in intermix mode, I want lombok to work on the java source files at least. Which it just will, out of the box, if kotlinc does not break annotation processor invocations, but it does, or at least, it did, in 2017. Any updates? I dunno. You're on the bug list, file something over at kotlin's bug tracker I think).

Or it means something even more exotic. I'm pretty sure all roads lead to: No.

@rzwitserloot thanks for the reply!

Personally I am asking this. Well ok... then may need to find some workarounds

@fzyzcjy Assuming kotlinc still doesn't fire annotation processors properly, possibly file a bug (it's on them to fix that, I can't make that happen for them short of forking kotlinc, which I also can't do, at least, I don't think it's open source either). I'm going by old info here, I don't use kotlin. If there is something project lombok can do to make this work, Pull Requests are welcome. No current core maintainers have the requires experience and motivation to pick this up.

@rzwitserloot Thank you!
