Lombok plug-in installation (Eclipse/SpringToolSuite4) (Windows and Mac)

introduce

Lombok is the注解化 solution for Java data classes (i.e. JavaBeans). Using the @Data annotation, methods such as set, get, hashCode, and toString in the data class no longer need to be written manually.

The principle of Lombok is to automatically generate set, get and other methods for data classes annotated with @Data through the compiler plug-in. Therefore, the Java editor is required to install the Lombok plug-in.

Higher versions of IDEA (from version 2020.3 onwards) have automatically integrated Lombok without the need to install additional plug-ins.

Eclipse and its derivative IDEs (such as SpringToolSuite4, etc.) need to use the Lombok installation package and manually install the Lombok plug-in into Eclipse.

This article takesSpringToolSuite4 as an example to introduce the installation steps of the Lombok plug-in.
