Add Lombok plugin to IntelliJ

Question

Intellij doesn't recognize Spring annotations and I think its connected to Lombok.

I added the plugin in IntelliJ settings and enabled annotation processing

I am using maven and I have this dependency

dependency>
       <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
       <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
       <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Still Intellij can't recognize Slf4j and Spring annotations

Answer 1

Follow the steps
1. Build spring application as mentioned in: https://spring.io/guides/gs/spring-boot/

2. Install Lombok in IntelliJ (check compatibility with your version of IntelliJ idea)

3. Add as a dependency in (pom.xml/build.gradle/other build files)

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
   <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
   <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

4. Build project

5. Enable annotation processing in IntelliJ(You have to do this every time you import new project, if you want it to be enabled by default then follow steps mention in this SO OP.
   File | Other Settings | Default Settings, navigate to the compiler settings, annotation processing and enable this option before importing the project.

If you still face issue do once File/Invalidate caches/Invalidate and restart

That's it.
