Installation in Linux (Ubuntu 14.04)

[Pedro Robles]

Hi,

I'd like to add a note for installing Lombok in Linux.

I use Eclipse Luna and jdk7u79. My eclipse path is /opt/eclipse so just root user can access it.

That means I had to run sudo java -jar lombok.jar and specify my IDE path manually. No issues. Great.

But... Starting Eclipse didn't pickup lombok features (I didn't see any methods on the outline tab). What's going on?

Well basically lombok.jar was copied witihn root ownership and when I run eclipse my normal user can't read the file.

You might need to check ownership in your eclipse path: ls -l /opt/eclipse

In my case the user:group was 'messagebus users' for every file/folder and 'root users' for lombok.jar

Just execute 'sudo chown messagebus lombok.jar' and lombok will do its magic!

Cheers!

Is really the ownership the problem and not the permissions? I ran into such a problem and the root cause was my very restrictive umask 0077 (see issue 794).

A deeper issue would be: Why are you running eclipse as root?

I am not and most probably neither Pedro is. But we were running sudo java --jar lombok.jar because of the permissions needed for writing /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini.

Hi Maaartin

I didn't have the issue with umask
Just modified the ownership not permissions at all, see my ls -l output:
