Setting up spring boot with lombok

Question

I was trying to set up lombok in STS.

These are the steps I have done: I downloaded a lambok jar file and have specified my sts.exe path. I have added the following dependencies in my pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

After this, I closed my sts and also updated my project. My maven dependencies folder should have a lombok.jar file in it. But there is no such file. I have tried other links but in vain. Please help what step I am missing?

Edit: So I actually switched to visual studio code and in order to use lombok in vscode, you will have to install lombok extension.

@HarmandeepSinghKalsi I have already done the steps mentioned here — Unknown, Jun 20 '20 at 18:44

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

Add the dependency like

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>

then save and then run a Maven cmd, I would run something like mvn clean install this should download all your jars, depending on your OS all maven jars will be in users-> current logged in user .m2\repository\org\projectlombok\lombok

@Unknown `My maven dependencies folder should have a lombok.jar file in it. But there is no such file.` isn't your problem fixed now? – Sandy McCathy Jun 20 '20 at 19:26
