Annotation processor 'lombok.core.AnnotationProcessor' not found

[lalib]

Hi,

I'm using lombok in my entities and want to produce MetaModelEntities. So I used lombok Annotation Processor. When i compile the project it gives below error:

"Annotation processor 'lombok.core.AnnotationProcessor' not found"

Here are my tools versions :

Maven 3.2.5
Java 1.8
Lombok 1.16.6

Here is how i use lombok:

If i use lombok 1.14.8, I don't get see any problem. When i look at the 1.16.6 jar file. lombok.core.AnnotationProcessor is over there but all class extensions are .lombok. I think this causes the problem.

How can i solve it?

[rzwitserloot]

We've changed the classloading infrastructure inside our jar between those versions.

The correct annotation processor class has changed to:

lombok.launch.AnnotationProcessorHider$AnnotationProcessor

Try putting that string in the XML at location: plugins/plugin [maven-compiler-plugin]/configuration/annotationProcessors/annotationProcessor.

If this does not work, please re-open the issue.

When i change AnnotationProcessor class like this:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>${project.java.version}</source>
                    <target>${project.java.version}</target>
                    <encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
                    <!--<compilerArgument>-proc:none</compilerArgument>-->
                    <annotationProcessors>
                        <annotationProcessor>lombok.launch.AnnotationProcessorHider$AnnotationProcessor</annotationProcessor>
                    </annotationProcessors>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

The problem was solved. Thank you so much.

I accidentally discovered this same solution to my problem as well.

I am going to paste the error that might lead future googlers to right information.

maven lombok cannot find symbol method

I am still getting error, don't know what is going wrong.Please help

[randakar]

Please correct your pom file. As per https://projectlombok.org/setup/maven the correct bit of maven compiler plugin configuration looks like this: <annotationProcessorPaths> <path> <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId> <artifactId>lombok</artifactId> <version>1.18.12</version> </path> </annotationProcessorPaths>

@rzwitserloot : Why did you hide it, if this kind of setting requires a simple stable path?
Or do you recommend a totally differnt way to handle the sequence of annotation preprocessors with maven-compile-plugin?
