Android Studio dependency confusion - Lombok

I was trying to integrate Lombok library to a non-Android module on Android Studio.

At first this is what I added to the build.gradle dependencies: 

compile group: 'org.projectlombok', name: 'lombok-maven', version: '1.16.10.0'

This is the same syntax I always use for everything else (spring, etc) and it works just fine.

Everything compiled fine but the Lombok jar simply was not fetched no matter what I did (clean/rebuild/restart IDE, etc.).

Eventually I changed the dependency line to:

compile 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.12.6'

and then finally the jar was fetched properly.

I don't really understand what's going on here. The first dependency line is what I got from the official maven repository. The second line I just happen to stumble upon around the web.

Attempting to use the 2nd line with the newest version (1.16.10.0) fails to compile, stating that no such jar exists.

I am sure I am missing some fundamental principles here with gradle or something else. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on things as I have wasted lots of time and effort on this silly issue.

Thanks in advance.

I finally realized my confusion. I didn't notice I was trying to add the lombok PLUGIN and not the lombok project itself.

In my defense, it is quite confusing (especially when searching at 2am ;)). This is what I should have used:Maven Repository - Correct lombok dependency

This is what I was wrongfully trying to use:

Maven Repository - Lombok Plugin

Which is actually the first thing that pops up when searching "Maven Lombok" on Google.

I think you just misspelled the version - the latest version is 1.6.10, not 1.6.10.0.

So compile 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.16.10' will work.
