Cursor and VS Code - Lombok problems

[Alexander Moyer]

Hello,

Lombok isn't working in my IDE. I've tried about 20 suggested pom.xml configs for Lombok from chatgpt to no avail. The app is literally a class Wtf.java w/ @Data and name, description, and a WtfService.java with a method to add hello world to the name and description. The project is directly from start.spring.io otherwise, and errors about no getters or setters. I'm using cursor/vs code with the lombok extensions.
e.g., straight from start.spring.io w/ my additions:

```

package com.example.demo;

import lombok.Data;

@Data

public class Wtf {

    private String name;

    private String description;

}

```
```

package com.example.demo;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service

public class WtfService {

    public Wtf getHello() {

        Wtf wtf = new Wtf();

        wtf.setName("Hello");

        wtf.setDescription("World");

        return wtf;

    }

}

```

```
