Even though not officially recommended by devonfw
some projects want to use lombok to avoid boiler-plate code.
As this requires some tweaks for IDEs we do support you with this guide in case you want to use it.
For eclipse there is a plugin to activate lombok support in eclipse. We have this already configured for you in our default settings. So for manual installation after setup, you can get it via this command:
ide eclipse add-plugin lombok
However, to avoid manual extra effort for lombok based projects you only need to activate this plugin in your project specific settings in lombok.properties for eclipse (replace false
with true
for plugin_active
).
For VisualStudio Code there is an extension to activate lombok support in VS-Code. We have this already preconfigured for you in our default settings. So for manual installation after setup, you can get it via this command:
ide vscode add-plugin lombok
However, to avoid manual extra effort for lombok based projects you only need to activate this plugin in your project specific settings in lombok.properties for vscode (replace false
with true
for plugin_active
).
According to the official Lombok page for IntelliJ, no plugins are required for Lombok support as of IntelliJ version 2020.3 and above.
