They claim to support ejc and javac, if someone can raise an issue on their
github to also officially support nbjavac

I am sure that if it the latest version of ecj had removed references to a
class like EndPostTable, the lombok team would have already figured it
out before the next eclipse release.

Its the lombok mailing list and github we should be hammering and making
friends with. I wrote to their [email protected] email address
yesterday

why don't you PMCs be nice, send them a nice email, meet the lombok team in
a Zoom call and make a little effort to coordinate the release schedules...

hu?
