Fix Lombok Plugin Not Working: Quick Guide

If the Lombok plugin is not working in the project, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

1. Lombok plugin not installed in IDE: Make sure that you have installed the Lombok plugin in the IDE you are using. The Lombok plugin can be downloaded and installed from the IDE’s plugin marketplace or official website.
2. The project does not have the Lombok dependency: make sure that the project’s build file (such as Maven’s pom.xml or Gradle’s build.gradle) has added the Lombok dependency. For example, for a Maven project, you need to add the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.20</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

1. Lombok annotation processor is not enabled in IDE: Some IDEs may require manually enabling the Lombok annotation processor. Please check the IDE’s settings or configurations and ensure that the Lombok annotation processor is enabled.
2. Project compilation failure or error: If there are compilation errors or issues in the project, the Lombok plugin may not function properly. Please check the project’s compilation output or the IDE’s error log, and address the relevant problems.

If the above solutions are not effective, it is recommended to try reinstalling or upgrading the Lombok plugin, ensuring compatibility between the IDE and project versions. Additionally, you can refer to related issues and answers in the Lombok official documentation or community for more assistance.
