IntelliJ IDEA Support about lombok

[lombokissues]

Will require a brave soul to reverse engineer IDEA's closed source. It would altogether be a lot
easier of someone who actually works on IDEA picks this one up :)

There's a rumour I heard that IDEA works on a custom grammar and parser based on ANTLR, which
would mean you don't just have to inject lombok at the right point in the parser process, but you'd
have to duplicate all the handlers in the lombok.eclipse.handler and lombok.javac.handler classes
into lombok.idea.handler, so - LOTS of effort.

There's a small chance IDEA's plugin system will actually offer a way to add lombok support without
having to decompile their sources. Someone who uses IDEA on a daily basis and has a license will
need to pick this one up.

IntelliJ IDEA just went mostly open source today.

A lot of work has been done by Michail Plushnikov to create an IntelliJ plugin for lombok. See:

http://code.google.com/p/lombok-intellij-plugin/

Currently it supports most major lombok annotations and only misses in some auto-complete functionality and the @ val annotation.

I've had lots of success with Michail's plugin for IntelliJ, sometimes I need to invalidate caches and restart in order to get the plugin to generate the code under the hood.

Michail's plugin works well for me. IDEA 11.1.5 (UltEd), plugin version 0.5, Lombok 0.11.6 (via Maven). I'm using only @ Data at the moment, but I have no problems with that at all (about two weeks in).
