What is the reason for this?

The possible reason is that your compiler environment is used too high. But your dependency

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
            <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.12</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

is too low.

The solution is to lower your compiled JDK to 1.8.

Or upgrade org.projectlombok to the latest version.

For example, if we use IntelliJ 1.8 to compile the code, there will be no errors.
