Update 2021-05-12 - Updated Intellij to latest version 2021.1.1 and it looks like this problem is solved. I also had problems using log in static block and it’s also fixed.
Today I had some serious problems with my Intellij installation. It all started after updating to the current latest patch 2020.3.2 and I could no longer build my project inside Intellij. I had no problem building it from the command line with maven but in the ide, it refused to build.
My problem was
java: JPS incremental annotation processing is disabled. Compilation results on partial recompilation may be inaccurate. Use build process "jps.track.ap.dependencies" VM flag to enable/disable incremental annotation processing environment.
java: Compilation failed: internal java compiler error
After some research, I found that Intellij had some problem with Lombok. It also looks like it has the same problem with Mapstruct but in this specific project, I don’t use Mapstruct. There are two ways to solve this issue, first is to upgrade Lombok to a newer version second is more of a workaround and it is to add -Djps.track.ap.dependencies=false to the build process options.
My Lombok version was 1.18.8 so I upgraded to the current latest version 1.18.18 and it solved my problem.
Suddenly a new problem occurred java: Compilation failed: internal java compiler error. It looked like it couldn’t resolve dependencies to this project’s submodules but I wasn’t sure why. I am using jgitver and it could be therein the problem lies but it builds on the command line so it must be something with Intellij.
After a lot of trial and error, it turns out that I had different Java versions for my submodules. So after changing the project’s Java version and every module to use the project version, my project finally compiled fine. I don’t have time for this…..
Just another day …..
