[FIXED] Lombok with Spring Tool Suite 4

Issue

I've recently installed the new Spring Tool Suite 4 in macOS High Sierra but when I tried to run Lombok's installation it wouldn't find my STS installation,

I followed this steps for manual installation (adding -javaagent to the ini file) but with no luck: href="https://www.edvpfau.de/sts-spring-tool-suite-4-mit-lombok/" rel="noreferrer">https://www.edvpfau.de/sts-spring-tool-suite-4-mit-lombok/.

Any idea?

Solution

I did install Lombok in Spring Tool Suite 4 just some days ago for Mac and Windows. And none problems.

One:

Execute java -jar lombok.jar

• Note: normally or by default, it does not find the installer, it is the common scenario in my experience.

Two:

Press the Specify Location button. Therefore proceed to find and select the STS.ini file. It could be SpringToolSuite4.ini too.

• Note: for Mac, go to the Contents directory within the .app file

Conclusion: therefore for any OS, the goal is find the unique file with the .ini extension

Normally I do this with the IDE closed.
