Lombok not working with STS

For whom the installer is throwing error while installation, this can be installed manually by following below steps.

1. First close the STS.
2. Copy lombok-x.xx.xx.jar from ~/.m2 repository. (E.g. ~\.m2\repository\org\projectlombok\lombok\1.16.14\lombok-1.16.14.jar)
3. Rename the copied jar to lombok.jar and paste it in STS home directory right beside STS launcher exe (E.g. D:\spring-tool-suite-3.9.0.RELEASE-e4.7.0-win32-x86_64\sts-bundle\sts-3.9.0.RELEASE\)
4. Open STS.ini (Name of this file can be different based on the STS version) and write -javaagent:lombok.jar line in the end .
5. Restart STS
6. Go to help>About Spring Tool Suit and check. You will see a message like "Lombok v1.16.14 "Candid Duck" is installed. https://projectlombok.org/"
7. For any existing project error, RCL on the project, Go to Maven>Update Project.

For the STS on Mac OSX, choose the .ini file, not the .exe file.

This is the path on my Macbook.

/Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuite4.ini

It worked like a charm.

Lombok not generating getter and setter STS

I had this problem despite successfully installing lombok and restarting STS, so:

• shutting down STS and
• starting it

worked (as opposed to restarting it). See this: http://codeomitted.com/setup-lombok-with-stseclipse-based-ide/
