java - Using lomboks @Data and @Builder on entity

Question

I am using the following:

@Entity
@Data
@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor(force = true)
public class User {
    private String id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
}

what I want to achieve: for JPA usage, I need a POJO with noArgConstructor, getters/setters and equals/hashCode/toString.

For instance creation (for example in tests) I want to use User.builder().build();

Problem: it does not compile, there seems to be an issue with the NoArgConstructor vs. RequiredFieldsConstructor:

Error:(15, 1) java: constructor User in class x.y.z.User cannot be applied to given types;
required: no arguments
found:    java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

Update: The error occurs when I try to create a new entity via new ... the builder() works.

What do I miss? Isn't it possible to use @Data, @Entity and @Builder at the same time?

try this code with lombok version 1.16.18 over :

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
@Entity
public class User {
    private String id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
}
