Delombok Java Beans

This post is older than a year. Consider some information might not be accurate anymore.

If you are using Lombok you can let lombok generate via the Maven Plugin the source code.

There are several approaches. Per se, Lombok expects a dedicated source folder src/main/lombok. If you have your Java Beans not in that folder, you can configure in the build section of the lombok maven plugin the sourceDirectory.

 <!-- delombok for source analysis-->
<build>
<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.16.18.0</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                <goals><goal>delombok</goal></goals>
            <configuration>
                <addOutputDirectory>false</addOutputDirectory>
                <sourceDirectory>src/main/java/model</sourceDirectory>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

If you are using the default, you need to add this source folder to the maven compiler plugin.

<build>    
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.6.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.7</source>
                <target>1.7</target>
                <includes><include>src/main/lombok</include></includes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
