I am trying to install Lombok on a OSX Eclipse installation. The installer correctly installs Lombok on the Eclipse that is installed on the Aoplications folder, but I have another Eclipse in my user Application folder, so I press the "Specify location..." button on the installer, but the dialog that appears has only an "Open" button and when I hit this button over the Eclipse.app instead of selecting the application it opens the contents folder so is impossible to add a new location.

I am using High Sierra.

I have not installed in OSX in ages, but if everything else fails, you might want to try simply editing the eclipse.ini file and add the .jar file to the folder manually. That's all the installer does. You can check the Applications folder installation as an example of what it does.

Cheers,

If 'open' on the app folder doesn't work, travel to Contents/MacOS/eclipse and pick that one. Alternatively, use the command line installer:

java -jar lombok.jar install /path/to/Eclipse.app

will also work.

Can I ask where you put your eclipse? We can try to add it to the list of paths we scan for eclipse installs. /Users/yourUserName/Applications?
