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
  • Download from http://projectlombok.org/download.html
  • Run the installer and let it configure Eclipse
  • Done
