The builder() method does not seem to be recognised. I am using IntelliJ. Is there something that I am missing?

Below are my intelliJ settings:

Solution

  • 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 :)
