Answer 1

Assuming you use IntelliJ: You have to install Lombok Plugin in order to make it work:

1. Go to File > Settings > Plugins
2. Click on Browse repositories...
3. Search for Lombok Plugin
4. Click on Install plugin
5. Restart IntelliJ IDEA

Answer 2

Aside from the dependency in the provided scope you have to enable the annotation processing (if you are using IntelliJ Idea) and install the Lombok Plugin .

1.  <dependency> <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId> <artifactId>lombok</artifactId> <version>${lombok.version}</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

2. Annotation processing: Navigate to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors and check Enable annotation processing .

   

3. Lombok Plugin: Navigate to File -> Settings -> Plugins and make sure the Lombok plugin is installed.

   

4. Restart IntelliJ Idea - The most likely missed part:)
