I'm using Lombok library in my project and have a problem with @Log4j2 annotation. Not sure why but it's not generating log field in the class.
But when I'm changing annotation to @Slf4j it works, I can see it in IntelliJ IDEA 'Structure' tab.
I'm using gradle as a build tool. Have few dependencies"
dependencies {
compileOnly("org.projectlombok:lombok")
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-log4j2")
}
So I had the same problem, I think. What I did is I installed the Lombok plugin in IntelliJ, enabled the annotation as in the link under Preferences-> Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Annotation Processors. And then I restarted IntelliJ, and it worked. IDE is able to recognize log.
I tried it for log4j, log4j2 and slf4j. It all worked.
Let me know if this helped.
Just installing the lombok plugin for intellij works for me.
