java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CaseStatement.<init>...'

In my Java 21 application with Lombok 1.18.32 one of the classes uses @Builder with @Singular, something like this:

@Builder
public class Naughty {
    private final @Singular("option") List<Option> options;
}

which results in an annotation compilation error in Spring Tools Suite 4.23.1:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CaseStatement.<init>(org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Expression, int, int)'

The environment is:

eclipse.buildId=4.23.1.202406150140
java.version=21.0.2
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86_64, WS=gtk, NL=en_US

Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -product org.springframework.boot.ide.branding.sts4
Solution

  • Lombok does not yet support supports Eclipse 2024-06 (4.32) on which Spring Tools 4.23.0 and 4.23.1 is based since Lombok 1.18.34, released on 28 June 2024. So make sure to use the current version of Lombok.
