To set up the Lombok plugin in an IDE, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add the Lombok dependency to your project. In a Maven project, you can add the following dependency to the pom.xml file.
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.20</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
  1. Install the Lombok plugin in your IDE. The specific installation method will depend on the IDE you are using. Here are some common installation methods for popular IDEs:
  1. In IntelliJ IDEA, go to “File” -> “Settings” -> “Plugins”, type “Lombok” in the search box, find “Lombok Plugin” in the search results, and click on the “Install” button to install it. Once the installation is complete, restart the IDE.
  2. Search for “Lombok” in the Eclipse Marketplace, locate the “Lombok” plugin, and click on “Go to the Marketplace” to install it. Once the installation is complete, restart the IDE.
  1. Set up your IDE to support the Lombok plugin. Here are some common configurations for a few popular IDEs:
  1. In IntelliJ IDEA, click on “File”, then “Settings”, followed by “Build, Execution, Deployment”, then “Compiler”, and finally “Annotation Processors”. Check the box for “Enable annotation processing” option.
  2. In Eclipse, go to “Preferences”, select “Java” -> “Compiler” -> “Annotation Processing”, check the box for “Enable project specific settings”, and make sure that “Enable annotation processing” is also checked.

Once you have completed the above steps, your IDE is now configured with the Lombok plugin. You can use Lombok annotations in your project to simplify the writing of Java code, such as using @Getter and @Setter annotations to automatically generate getter and setter methods, and using @ToString annotation to generate the toString method, and so on.
