Gmail to allow less secure app to connect

By TY → Sunday, October 11, 2015

Some of my old java application that used to be able to send out email via Gmail fails. This seems to be due to a security enhancement sometime back in Gmail.

We now need to explicitly allow less secure applications to connect to Gmail. In order to do that, we will have to

1. Go to
   https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
2. Check "Allow access for less secure apps"

Note that, this feature is not available for google account with 2-steps verifications enabled.

Unable to build in intellij idea when using lombok

By TY →

When using lombok with intellij, there is a great lombok plugin that enable Intellij to pick up the getter setter methods within the editor. However, when trying to build within Intellij, the build will fail.

To solve this, we only need to configure Intellij to process the annotations.

Go to Settings and type in "Enable annotation processing" in the search field and click "Annotation Processors" in the result.

Then just check "Enable annotation processing"
