Java Lombok "@Getter" is not applicable to field
<p>I've been trying to get Lombok working in IntelliJ IDEA but whenever I try to use any of its annotations, I get an error message that goes like this:</p>

<pre><code>Error:(5, 5) java: annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration
</code></pre>

<p>My code looks like this, using their example on their homepage.</p>

<pre><code>import jdk.nashorn.internal.objects.annotations.Getter;

public class GetterSetterExample {
    @Getter
    private int age = 10;
}
</code></pre>

<p>I have installed the lombok plugin, and enabled the annotation processor in settings. I'm using IntelliJ 15 with java 1.8.0_40.</p>

<p>I can't find anyone with the same problem as me which is why I am asking here if anyone knows what's going on.</p>
