ECJ

ECJ (the Eclipse standalone compiler) is compatible with Lombok. Use the following command line to enable Lombok with ECJ:

java -javaagent:lombok.jar=ECJ -jar ecj.jar -cp lombok.jar -source 1.8 (rest of arguments)

You may have to add the following VM argument, if you're using an older version of Lombok or Java:

-Xbootclasspath/p:lombok.jar

If you're using a tool based on ECJ, adding these VM arguments and adding lombok.jar to the classpath should work.

Maven

Lombok comes with a tiny bootstrap agent that can be included in your project to allow ECJ to easily work with Maven. To create this agent, run:

java -jar lombok.jar createMavenECJBootstrap -o /path/to/project/root

The -o path should contain your pom.xml.

This will create two files, .mvn/jvm.config and .mvn/lombok-bootstrap.jar. Maven will use these files to activate the standard Lombok Java agent at the right time. These can be committed in source control for a portable build.

You must also update your pom.xml to add Lombok as a dependency to the maven-compiler-plugin. A minimal example follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
