GWT (Google Web Toolkit) is compatible with lombok.

Edit your proj-debug and proj-compile batch scripts to add the following VM arguments:

java -javaagent:lombok.jar=ECJ (rest of arguments)

Thanks to Stephen Haberman for figuring this out.

<@s.section title="GWT plugin in Eclipse">

To use the GWT plugin in eclipse together with Lombok:
Install lombok into eclipse as normal (start lombok.jar as an application).
Download the JDT variant that GWT uses. For GWT v2.8.2 you'll need org.eclipse.jdt.core 3.11.2; for the current GWT development snapshot, this is org.eclipse.jdt.core 3.13.50. For more versions, search for jar files matching 'org.eclipse.jdt.core-{VERSION}-CUSTOM-GWT-{date}.jar in the lib/eclipse section GWT's github page.
Configure the 'GWT/Compile' option in the eclipse GWT plugin; in the advanced section, add the following VM arguments:

-javaagent:/path/to/lombok.jar=ECJ
-Xbootclasspath/p:/path/to/lombok.jar:/path/to/org.eclipse.jdt.core_fromPreviousStep.jar

Where the colon should be replaced with a semicolon on windows.
GWT Dev Mode needs a similar configuration: In the VM arguments section ('Arguments' tab), add:

-javaagent:/path/to/lombok.jar=ECJ

and in the 'Classpath' tab, add both lombok.jar and the org.eclipse.jdt.core file you downloaded.
