Lombok with Spring Tool Suite 4

I did install Lombok in Spring Tool Suite 4 just some days ago for Mac and Windows. And none problems.

One:

Execute java -jar lombok.jar

  • Note: normally or by default, it does not find the installer, it is the common scenario in my experience.

Two:

Press the Specify Location button. Therefore proceed to find and select the STS.ini file. It could be SpringToolSuite4.ini too.

  • Note: for Mac, go to the Contents directory within the .app file

Conclusion: therefore for any OS, the goal is find the unique file with the .ini extension

Normally I do this with the IDE closed.


I faced same issue with for Spring tool suite 4

Solution

  1. Close running STS.

  2. Open terminal

  3. Go to ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/version

  4. Run java -jar lombok-version.jar Pop window will come.
  5. If it does not pick up the STS itself. Then chose specify location Choose SpringToolSuite4.ini at ⁨Applications⁩ ▸ ⁨SpringToolSuite4⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Eclipse⁩ .
  6. Click install
  7. After this Starts Spring tool suite and clean project.

I renamed SpringToolSuite4.exe and SpringToolSuite4.ini to STS.exe and STS.ini. Then used lombok installer's Specify Location to find them. After lombok installed, I renamed those files back to their original names.


Although this might be late, but it can be of help for others just experiencing this. Bellow is how I solved this issue

STEP 1

Find lombok in your project maven directory -> Right click -> Run As -> Java Application enter image description here

STEP 2 Click on Specify Location button to choose the path where STS is installed

STEP 3 Go to Application/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuit4.ini Then click on Install -> Quick Installer enter image description here

STEP 4 Restart STS you good to go
