Using Lombok with Play! Framework 2.2x

Lombok is a project that removes some of the tediousness of Java by letting you use annotations to replace the verbosity of Getters/Setters (and heaps of other cool things!)

  • This is mostly a note for me to help save a TON of time screwing around again.
  • Play 2.2.x works 'out of the box' just by including lombok in your dependencies
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  foo,
  bar,
  baz,
  "org.projectlombok" % "lombok" % "1.12.6"
)
  • Where you run into issues is that play eclipse won't add the correct stuff for lombok to work correctly.
  • After a lot of messing around, I just went back to the method suggested on the site
