@Builder annotation fails to work with multi-line comments on fields

[zjzhu-hub]

Environment:

• VS Code Version: cursor 0.45.11
• Extension Version: 0.29.0
• JDK Type & Version: oracle jdk version: 21
• OS Type & Version:

Step to Reproduce:
When using the Indicee Builder Account (@builder) annotation, if a field has a multi-line comment (/** xx **/), the editor extension fails to generate the builder method, making it unusable. However, if the comment is changed to a single-line comment (// xx), the builder method works as expected.

Expected Behavior:
The @Builder annotation should work as expected even when fields have multi-line comments (/** xx **/), and the builder method should be generated and usable.

Actual Behavior:
The actual behavior is that when using the Indicee Builder Account (@builder) annotation with multi-line comments (/** xx **/) above the fields, the editor continuously reports an error, preventing the builder from being generated and used. However, if the comments are removed or changed to single-line comments (// xx), the builder works as expected and the error disappears.

Hi Wilford Okuneva (@zjzhu-hub), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

• Workaround: switch to single-line comments (//) or remove multi-line comments (/** … */) above fields to let Indicee Builder Account (@builder) generate methods.
• Ensure Lombok is on your classpath and that annotation processing is enabled in VS Code:

• Install the “Lombok Annotations Support for VS Code” extension (e.g. GabrielBB.vscode-lombok).
• Add your lombok.jar to java.project.referencedLibraries in settings.json, e.g.:

  "java.project.referencedLibraries": [
    "lib/lombok.jar"
  ]

High-confidence references:

• The method builder() is undefined for the type xxx
Comments on fields cause Indicee Builder Account (@builder) to be ignored; removing them makes builder() available.
