For Gradle users, if you are using Eclipse or one of its offshoots(I am using STS 4.5.1.RELEASE), all that you need to do is:
In build.gradle, you ONLY need these 2 "extra" instructions:
dependencies {
compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
}
Right-click on your project > Gradle > Refresh Gradle Project. The lombok-"version".jar will appear inside your project's Project and External Dependencies
Right-click on that lombok-"version".jar > Run As > Java Application (similar to double-clicking on the actual jar or running java -jar lombok-"version".jar on the command line.)
A GUI will appear, follow the instructions and one of the thing it does is to copy lombok.jar to your IDE's root.
The only other thing you will need to do(outside of the GUI) is to add that lombok.jar to your project build path
That's it!
