Lombok Bazel and Java 17

[Alexei Isac]

Running the example
https://github.com/ckilian867/bazel-lombok-generated-annotation

Lombok changelog says they did add support for 17 and 18
https://projectlombok.org/changelog

with .bazelrc with a single line
build --java_language_version=17

causes the following exception.

Wondering if anyone got past this, hate to downgrade to 15 ?

Answering my own question...

Adding --nojava_header_compilation to .bazelrc and moving to lombok 1.18.24 seems to fix it

.bazelrc contents...

build --java_language_version=17

build --nojava_header_compilation

test --nojava_header_compilation
