A simple Spring Boot project to show that AspectJ + Lombok does work with mvn but not within IntelliJ:

Works

$ mvn package -DskipTests && mvn spring-boot:run

or

$ mvn package -DskipTests && java -jar target/spring-boot-ctw-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Does not work

Run the project from within IntelliJ

Error:(18, 0) ajc: log cannot be resolved
