Eclipse displaying compilation error messages while using lombok API

Question

I am using lombok API in my codebase to generate getter and setter functionality internally for DTO. Here is one example.

import lombok.Data;

@Data
public class TemplateDTO {
    private String templateId;

    private String templateName;

}

The issue is while using the get/set methods of TemplateDTO in my codebase eclipse is showing me error messages.

However maven install is working fine (if I run via the command line).

Is there anyway I can disable error messages in eclipse or is there anyway I can resolve getter and setter code?

I am using Eclipse Neon.2 Release (4.6.2) in OSX.

@Steve It's compilation error, that getter and setters are not there in DTO class. — nagendra547, Sep 25 '17 at 11:08

I will answer this question myself. Thanks to lukjar and @MrSimpleMind response.

Just append following lines in eclipse.ini.

Basically add lombok.jar in your javaagent and Xbootclasspath arguments.

-Xbootclasspath/a:/Users/test/lombok/lombok.jar
-javaagent:/Users/test/lombok/lombok.jar

After this

It's good to go now.

Recent versions of lombok no longer need the -Xbootclasspath/a parameter. I don't know the exact version number but at least 1.16.14, probably a lot earlier. – Roel Spilker Sep 26 '17 at 10:54

You could have use the lombok built-in eclipse installer: `java -jar lombok.jar` – Roel Spilker Sep 26 '17 at 10:54
Thanks @RoelSpilker for reply. Yes 'java -jar lombok.jar' is also one of the way to use it. – nagendra547 Sep 26 '17 at 15:07
