Question

I m migrating a Java project to a Kotlin Java project and there there is a configuration using annotationProcessor of lombok we also started using version catalog and Kotlin DSL We using platform with the spring boot dependencies for providing the versions for our dependencies Now when providing the dependency at the annotationProcessor it doesn t work but if I provide it with version it seems to work But I don t want to provide a version and would like that it comes from the spring boot dependencies platform How do I achieve this

Chris Lee · Answer

sounds like a bom platform needs to be applied to the `annotationProcessor` configuration much as appears to have been done for other configurations

Chris Lee · Answer

Something like ``` val springBootBom = platform SpringBootPlugin BOM COORDINATES implementation springBootBom testImplementation springBootBom testFixturesApi springBootBom annotationProcessor springBootBom developmentOnly springBootBom ```

Note this was from a long time ago so things might be different now ~When in a kotlin hybrid project you want to move to use `kapt` instead of `annotationProcessor` This will allow annotations to work on both Kotlin and Java code~ That said there is an ordering problem I ran into in the past with migrating a lombok project where if you had lombok annotated java being referenced in kotlin it could cause issues

Trevor Stone · Answer

It looks like to solve this they have created <https kotlinlang org docs lombok html>

Trevor Stone · Answer

it also seems like on that page you should keep lombok using `annotationProcessor` instead of `kapt` because you won t use lombok for kotlin code

Humphrey · Answer

I just wanted to point out that Lombok was only indeed for the Java and not for the Kotlin

Humphrey · Answer

On that page they mentioned the use of the plugin `kotlin plugin lombok` havent seen that one before Maybe this is neccessary to do the AnnotationProcessing

Humphrey · Answer

Thanks adding the spring boot dependencies as platform to the annotationProcessor helped

In Gradle case plugin should be org jetbrains kotlin plugin lombok Docs also has a link to the sample project with lombok <https github com kotlin hands on kotlin lombok examples blob master kotlin lombok gradle withconfig build gradle kts>
