[BUG] Lombok annotation handler class lombok.eclipse.handlers.HandleEqualsAndHashCode failed - See error log.

[JanMosigItemis]

I also encountered similar behavior with Eclipse 2024-03 (4.31.0) on Java 17 and 21.

It fails on EqualsAndHashCode, Builder, Constructor, etc. It used to work just fine on Eclipse 2023-12 (4.30).

As a workaround you can use lombok.jar linked in the referenced issue.
