[FIXED] Is it possible to use Lombok with Kotlin?

Issue

I have a Kotlin Gradle project. I added Lombok as a dependency and also registered it with kapt

compileOnly("org.projectlombok:lombok:$lombokVersion")
kapt("org.projectlombok:lombok:$lombokVersion")

I would like to use the href="https://projectlombok.org/api/lombok/extern/slf4j/Slf4j.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">@Slf4j annotation for automatic logger generation. It works for Java classes but not for the Kotlin ones.

Is using Kotlin and Lombok together even possible as of now? If I annotate a Kotlin class with @Slf4j and use log inside it I get

Unresolved reference: log

Evidently no annotation processing is applied.

Solution

You cannot use annotation @Slf4j, but manually create its object in the class required.
