[BUG] Annotation processor 'lombok.launch.AnnotationProcessorHider$AnnotationProcessor' not found

[milindbangar79]

Environment:

JDK : 1.8_121
IDE : STS 3.9.4.RELEASE
Maven Compiler Plugin : 3.6.1
Lombok Version : 1.18.4

I have seen solution for the issue, but not working even changing the versions as mentioned in other posts.

Plugin Config:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>3.6.1</version>
	<configuration>
		<compilerVersion>1.8</compilerVersion>
		<source>1.8</source>
		<target>1.8</target>
		<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
		<!--<compilerArgument>-proc:none</compilerArgument>-->
		<annotationProcessors>
				<annotationProcessor>lombok.launch.AnnotationProcessorHider$AnnotationProcessor</annotationProcessor>
		</annotationProcessors>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

Kindly let me know, where I would be going wrong.

Thanks
Milind

Can you give us the simplest complete pom.xml file that reproduces your problem?

I hope you have a simpler complete pom file to reproduce the problem. Can you please remove as much as possible?

[rspilker]

Uh, why is the lombok scope runtime and not provided?

[rspilker]

I am not a maven expert. But don't you also need a <annotationProcessorPaths>?

[milindbangar79]

Thanks Roel for the responses.

My bad in using wrong scope. Have updated the pom .

When I first got the issue, referred another issue(#905) raised here and update the

What would be the value for annotationProcessorPaths, if you can help me with that?

Thanks
Milind

[rspilker]

Sorry, I am not a maven expert. Maybe stackoverflow is a better platform to get help on this.

[milindbangar79]

Hi,

The issue is resolved by changing the Lombok version and updating maven compiler accordingly .... Seems like compatibility issue more than anything else.

Thanks
Milind
