Lombok with Spring Tool Suite 4

Question

I've recently installed the new Spring Tool Suite 4 in macOS High Sierra but when I tried to run Lombok's installation it wouldn't find my STS installation,

I followed this steps for manual installation (adding -javaagent to the ini file) but with no luck: https://www.edvpfau.de/sts-spring-tool-suite-4-mit-lombok/.

Any idea?

Answer 1

I did install Lombok in Spring Tool Suite 4 just some days ago for Mac and Windows. And none problems.

One:

Execute java -jar lombok.jar

• Note: normally or by default, it does not find the installer, it is the common scenario in my experience.

Two:

Press the Specify Location button. Therefore proceed to find and select the STS.ini file. It could be SpringToolSuite4.ini too.

• Note: for Mac, go to the Contents directory within the .app file

Conclusion: therefore for any OS, the goal is find the unique file with the .ini extension

Normally I do this with the IDE closed.

Answer 2

Although this might be late, but it can be of help for others just experiencing this. Bellow is how I solved this issue

STEP 1

Find lombok in your project maven directory -> Right click -> Run As -> Java Application

STEP 2 Click on Specify Location button to choose the path where STS is installed

STEP 3 Go to Application/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuit4.ini Then click on Install -> Quick Installer

STEP 4 Restart STS you good to go
