the common module - in this module there will be only all sorts of data structures (for example enum)

    </dependency>
</dependencies>

run

mvn clean install

and in the common module I get an error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project common: Fatal error compiling: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor (in unnamed

[Help 1]

I understand that he is not friends with lombok, but where does this version of the maven-compiler-plugin come from:3.8.1, if I have version 2.4.2 listed everywhere?

I looked at similar questions, they mostly advise to manually register the maven-compiler-plugin version, I have it registered.

Answer 1

Check your java version. I just had the same problem, solved it by changing my JAVA_HOME from jdk17 to jdk1.8
