Can I access Lombok getters and setters annotated inside a dependency project?

Question

I have a project 'Onboarding' which has another project 'EntityModel' as a dependency. Inside 'EntityModel' have a lot of entities annotated with Lombok, for example:

@NoArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
@ToString
@Entity
@Table(name="address")
public class Address {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "address_generator_sequence")
    @Column(name = "address_id")
    private long id;
(...)

but when I try to access the getters or setters of those entities in a 'Onboarding' class:

@PostMapping("/createCustomer")
public ResponseEntity<Customer> createCustomer(@RequestBody Customer customer) throws URISyntaxException {

        Address ad = new Address();

        ad.getId();

        return ResponseEntity.created(new URI("/user/")).build();
    }

The IDE doesn't show up the getters in the options box, and when I run the build, the compller shows me this:

(...)/Restaurant/onboarding/src/main/java/com/restaurant/onboarding/controller/OnboardingController.java:37: error: cannot find symbol
        ad.getId();
          ^
  symbol:   method getId()
  location: variable ad of type Address

when I opened the .class and realized the annotations didn't persist, I searched a little bit and saw that Lombok has the Retention as a Source. But even so, is there any other way, any other configuration that I can make to access Lombok getters and setters from another project?

Answer 1

After configure the io.freefair.lombok plugin inside the 'Onboarding' build.gradle.kts, it works:

plugins {
java
war
id("org.springframework.boot") version "3.1.2"
id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.1.2"
id("io.freefair.lombok") version "8.1.0"}
