Eclipse save actions removes "import lombok.var;"

[pcouton]

I am experiencing a strange Eclipse behavior when I save a file that uses lombok.var.

• My Eclipse is configured to organize imports when I save a file (but not to remove unused imports)
  
• "import lombok.var;" is not marked as an unused import
• However, when I save my file, Eclipse removes the import, leading to a compile error

Have you already seen such a problem ? Is there a workaround ?

Seen with Lombok 1.18.0, Eclipse 4.7.3  ; code used:

import lombok.var;

public class VarImportTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var myVar = "Foo";
        System.out.println(myVar);
    }

}

We delete the import on purpose in javac-land, but definitely not in eclipse-land, so this is befuddling to me. We explicitly turn 'var myVar = "Foo"' into '@var String myVar = "Foo"' in order to avoid the import being marked as unused somehow.

If this is still happening, can you file a bug on github? Thanks!

Bug filed : #1783.

While entering the bug description, I found that this problem is caused by the "Organize Imports" action. Since this one is often used in "Save Actions", it was easy to have a confusion between tthe two.
