Add Lombok plugin to IntelliJ

Question

Intellij doesn't recognize Spring annotations and I think its connected to Lombok.

I added the plugin in IntelliJ settings and enabled annotation processing

I am using maven and I have this dependency

dependency>
       <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
       <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
       <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Still Intellij can't recognize Slf4j and Spring annotations

Have you included Spring dependencies? Spring annotations have nothing to do with Lombok — Héctor, Jan 02 '19 at 11:40
Please show us your pom.xml. I think that the problem you are facing is not related with Lombok. — Lorelorelore, Jan 02 '19 at 11:52

Follow the steps
1. Build spring application as mentioned in: https://spring.io/guides/gs/spring-boot/

Install Lombok in IntelliJ (check compatibility with your version of IntelliJ idea)

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
   <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
   <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Build project
Enable annotation processing in IntelliJ(You have to do this every time you import new project, if you want it to be enabled by default then follow steps mention in this SO OP.
File | Other Settings | Default Settings, navigate to the compiler settings, annotation processing and enable this option before importing the project.

If you still face issue do once File/Invalidate caches/Invalidate and restart

That's it.

I have done all the steps above. Only I haven't tried to actually build the project. After I try to build I get "cannot compile groovy files: no Groovy library is defined for module exampleModule" .. maybe I need to see how to resolve this one first. I had to delete project and import again that's why I am having these difficulties – Georgi Michev Jan 02 '19 at 13:15

You need to install the lombok plugin to intellij as well.

Files->Settings->Plugins->Click on Browse repositories->Search for Lombok->Install plugin->Restart Intellij
