I was working on a spring boot project using eclipse. I'm trying to shift to intellij idea but there is lombok jar that our project uses. Due to restrictions from network connection I can't download and install lombok plugin. I can able to connect lombok jar with eclipse. But not sure how to connect the lombok jar with intellij idea. I searched online, didn't find solution. Please help me with this one. Thanks in advance :)

    Your code will compile fine without the plugin but your IDE will not understand what Lombok is doing. It will show errors when you use Lombok-generated methods like getters. It will not give you auto-completion. **You need the plugin to work productively.** – Michael Dec 01 '21 at 02:08
  • Hi @Michael, Thanks for you quick reply. Yes my project using getters and setters from Lombok so it's not compiling. And as per the plugin part I can't download from intellij. – Venkatasai Janaparapu Dec 01 '21 at 15:25

You can visit Github project page of Lombok Plugin for Intellij Idea at here: https://github.com/mplushnikov/lombok-intellij-plugin/ and following the instruction:

Manually: Download the latest release and install it manually using

Preferences > Plugins > Install plugin from disk...

Restart IDE.

Required IntelliJ Configuration

In your project: Click Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler, Annotation Processors.

Click Enable Annotation Processing

Afterwards you might need to do a complete rebuild of your project via Build -> Rebuild Project.

  • Note: Lombok project dependency in build tool Gradle/Maven...
