How to fix: Lombok builder() method does not seem to be recognised in IntelliJ?

I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Can somebody please help me out

POM:

Implementation:

Using it as below:

The builder() method does not seem to be recognised. I am using IntelliJ. Is there something that I am missing?

Below are my intelliJ settings:

Assuming you use IntelliJ: You have to install Lombok Plugin in order to make it work:

1. Go to File > Settings > Plugins
2. Click on Browse repositories...
3. Search for Lombok Plugin
4. Click on Install plugin
5. Restart IntelliJ IDEA

Aside from the dependency in the provided scope you have to enable the annotation processing (if you are using IntelliJ Idea) and install the Lombok Plugin.

1. <dependency>
       <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
       <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
       <version>${lombok.version}</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
   

2. Annotation processing: Navigate to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors and check Enable annotation processing.

   

3. Lombok Plugin: Navigate to File -> Settings -> Plugins and make sure the Lombok plugin is installed.

   

4. Restart IntelliJ Idea - The most likely missed part

In my case, I had used @Data and @NoArgsConstructor.

To get the @Builder to work, I had to add @AllArgsConstructor.

@NoArgsConstructor seems to invalidate the [all-args] constructor @Data adds. So either have just @Data or both @NoArgsConstructor & @AllArgsConstructor

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@Builder
public class ThatGreatClassName implements Serializable {
    // code
}

OR

@Data
@Builder
public class ThatGreatClassName implements Serializable {
    // code
}
