Gradle cannot be built using lombok… here is a solution to the problem.
Gradle cannot be built using lombok
It is currently not possible to build new projects using Gradle and Lombok.
warning: You aren't using a compiler supported by lombok, so lombok will not work and has been disabled.
Your processor is: org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.processing.IncrementalProcessingEnvironment
Lombok supports: sun/apple javac 1.6, ECJ
/Users/rich/Desktop/reports/src/main/java/com/example/reports/reportparamters/ReportParameter.java:46: error: cannot find symbol
filter.setReportParameter(this);
I
know this is a common issue with older versions of Gradle and Lombok and have seen similar issues on this site, but I’m using a newer version and can’t fix this
Environmental information
- Java: openjdk 13.0.1 2019-10-15 (this is the OpenJ9 version and not the HotSpot version).
- Javac:13.01

Something I’ve tried
- I’ve tried swapping deps for the Lombok gradle plugin, as described in here:
- Almost all other similar issues regarding Stack Overflow simply refer to updating Gradle to version 4.5+ and Lombok version 1.18+
Thanks in advance
Solution
I’m having the same issue on OpenJ9 13.0.1.9 right now, but it works fine on Zulu Java 13 (zulu13.29.9-ca-jdk13.0.2-win_x64).
So I’m using Zulu when building with Gradle (6.0.1) and opening J9 to run my executable JAR.
