Answer 1

You cannot use Lombok by simply putting it as a dependency, you must install it to your favorite IDE, too. See the documentation here :

Project Lombok is available as a single jar file on the project site. It includes the APIs for development as an installer for IDE integration. On most systems, simply double-clicking the jar file will launch the installer. If the system is not configured to correctly launch jar files, it can also be run from the command line as follows:

java -jar lombok.jar

The dependencies are additionally to that, not instead.
