How To Install Project Lombok In Apache Netbeans

# Dev Environment:

• Apache maven (v3.6.1)
• maven-compiler-plugin (v3.8.1)
• lombok (v1.18.8)
• Apache Netbeans (v10.0)

# Installation Steps:

1. Go to project lombok's download page and download the latest stable jar file. Add it to your project libraries.
• NOTE: Incase you're working on a Maven Project, this step isn't neccessary. All you need is to add lombok as a project dependency in your pom.xml file. i.e

 <dependencies>
 <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.projectlombok/lombok -->
 	<dependency>
 		<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
 		<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
 		<version>1.18.8</version>
 		<scope>provided</scope>
 	</dependency>
 </dependencies>
 

• Once the dependency is added, Right-click your project >> Select "Build with Dependencies". Maven will download the dependencies listed in your pom.xml file.


2. Now when you use lombok specific annotations, Clicking the red danger icon in the gutter should pop up a context menu. In the menu you should be able to easily import the relevant annotation. i.e Add import for lombok.Getter

3. That's it for today. Don't hesitate to leave a comment. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
