Spent 4 Hours on a Lombok Error 😩 — Solved It!

If you're using Lombok and getting weird javac processor or NoClassDefFoundError issues — double-check your JDK version. Lombok might not play well with Java 21+ in certain environments.

Try dropping back to Java 17 (which is LTS and widely supported) and see if that resolves your problem. It saved me a lot of headache.
