How to fix "lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor could not be initialized"

My question relates to "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35236104/gradle-build-fails-on-lombok-annotated-classes". I am using JHipster and Lombok 1.16.18 with build.gradle:

...
apply plugin: 'net.ltgt.apt'
...
dependencies {
    provided "org.projectlombok:lombok:${lombok_version}"
    apt "org.projectlombok:lombok:${lombok_version}"
}
...

but get the following error during compileJava:

warning: lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor could not be initialized. 
Lombok will not run during this compilation: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.sun.tools.javac.api.ClientCodeWrapper$WrappedStandardJavaFileManager extends com.sun.tools.javac.api.ClientCodeWrapper$WrappedJavaFileManager implements javax.tools.StandardJavaFileManager

The output is:

What am I missing here?

Solution

  • Output of gradlew -v shows that you are using JDK 9 which is not supported by JHipster 4.10.2, please use JDK 8. Same for Lombok.
