Lombok @Data annotation problem

I have this DTO:
 @Data
@Builder
public class UserDto {
    private Long id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String email;
    private String password;
    private LocalDateTime createdAt;
    private LocalDateTime updatedAt;
}
 @Data
@Builder
public class UserDto {
    private Long id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String email;
    private String password;
    private LocalDateTime createdAt;
    private LocalDateTime updatedAt;
}
and I'm using it in a controller like this: 
    @PostMapping("/add-user")
    public ResponseEntity<String> addUser(@RequestBody UserDto userDto) throws Exception {
        try {
            if (userDto.getFirstName().isEmpty() || userDto.getLastName().isEmpty() || userDto.getEmail().isEmpty() || userDto.getPassword().isEmpty()) {
                throw new Exception("Missing fields while adding a user.");
            }
    @PostMapping("/add-user")
    public ResponseEntity<String> addUser(@RequestBody UserDto userDto) throws Exception {
        try {
            if (userDto.getFirstName().isEmpty() || userDto.getLastName().isEmpty() || userDto.getEmail().isEmpty() || userDto.getPassword().isEmpty()) {
                throw new Exception("Missing fields while adding a user.");
            }
but I'm getting an error:

IamMax420
IamMax420OP•2w ago
what's that I have annotation processing enabled that's all I know man I can't fucking do it with spring initializr anymore last time I was doing java I had some other issue with the pom file

Yeah I did "reload all maven projects" but it didn't work, surprisingly

ayylmao123xdd•2w ago
did you add the annotation processor tag just copy the solution from that last thread and it should work make sure to use mvn clean install too 
    @PostMapping("/add-user")
    public ResponseEntity<String> addUser(@RequestBody UserDto userDto) throws Exception {
        try {
            if (userDto.getFirstName().isEmpty() || userDto.getLastName().isEmpty() || userDto.getEmail().isEmpty() || userDto.getPassword().isEmpty()) {
                throw new Exception("Missing fields while adding a user.");
            }
    @PostMapping("/add-user")
    public ResponseEntity<String> addUser(@RequestBody UserDto userDto) throws Exception {
        try {
            if (userDto.getFirstName().isEmpty() || userDto.getLastName().isEmpty() || userDto.getEmail().isEmpty() || userDto.getPassword().isEmpty()) {
                throw new Exception("Missing fields while adding a user.");
            }
the code inside this method should be in a separate service not in a controller
