When starting with a fresh eclipse installation you, in fact, need to “install” Lombok before being able to use it.
- Go where you Lombok jar is (e.g. (e.g. you can find in
~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/1.16.10/lombok-1.16.10.jar), run it (Example:java -jar lombok-1.16.10.jar). A window should appear, browse to youreclipse.exelocation. - Click on install.
- Launch Eclipse, update project configuration on all projects and voila.
