You can use lombok with maven by adding the following to your
pom.xml:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
<version>@VERSION@</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>projectlombok.org</id>
<url>http://projectlombok.org/mavenrepo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
CAREFUL: lombok requires using the javac v1.6 compiler. If this is not your default compiler, you'll need to add the following to your
pom file to explicitly set the java compiler version to use:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<compilerVersion>1.6</compilerVersion>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
That's all there is to it!
note: You'll still need to download lombok, or doubleclick on the lombok.jar file downloaded by maven, to install lombok into your eclipse installation.
