An internal error has occurred [message #1840646] Wed, 21 April 2021 06:04 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
A couple of days ago, I started noticing eclipse throwing at me the this error, every time I attempted to do Maven -> Update project. (screen capture attached). I didn't take it serious at the time as it still seemed to be updating it.

But now, I can't ignore it anymore as all of a sudden, after installing lombok and integrating it with eclipse, maven seems not to recognizes it and refuses to acknowledge the @Setter and @Getter that lombok provides me. So, I cannot do a mvn clean install and can't update the project fully either, it seems.

I suspect the two maybe related. But alas, I don't remember now what it is I did that started generating this error shown in the screenshot.

Would anyone be so kind and tach me how to interpret the below stack trace in my eclipse log? Or at least tell me what the issues is? Thank you!

The two weren't related.  



It appears I've not had lombok as a path inside   inside the    <annotationProcessorPaths> tag and also had put too high a version inside the source and target attribute of the maven compiler (I had 15 before): 








<plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
             <version>3.8.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>11</source> 
                <target>11</target> 
                <annotationProcessorPaths>
                    <path>
                        <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
                        <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
                        <version>${org.mapstruct.version}</version>
                    </path>
                  <path>
                        <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
                        <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
                        <version>${org.mapstruct.version}</version>
                    </path>
                </annotationProcessorPaths>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>


 Although I'm still getting the above error whenever I try updating my project.

I forgot about running eclipse.exe with -clean. This helped.
