Lombok

Even though not officially recommended by devon4j some projects want to use lombok in their project. As this requires some tweaks for IDEs we do support you with this guide in case you want to use it.

Lombok in Eclipse

For eclipse there is a plugin to activate lombok support in eclipse. We have this already configured for you in our default settings. So for manual installation after setup, you can get it via this command:

devon eclipse add-plugin lombok

However, to avoid manual extra effort for lombok based projects you only need to activate this plugin in your project specific settings in lombok.properties for eclipse (replace false with true for plugin_active).

Lombok for VS-Code

For VisualStudio Code there is an extension to activate lombok support in VS-Code. We have this already preconfigured for you in our default settings. So for manual installation after setup, you can get it via this command:

devon vscode add-plugin lombok

However, to avoid manual extra effort for lombok based projects you only need to activate this plugin in your project specific settings in lombok.properties for vscode (replace false with true for plugin_active).

Lombok for IntelliJ

According to the official Lombok page for IntelliJ, no plugins are required for Lombok support as of IntelliJ version 2020.3 and above.
