Have you setup your IDE?
IDE CONFIGURATION
Some IDEs require additional configuration in order to enable annotation processing.
IntelliJ IDEA — If your project uses an external configuration (like a Maven pom.xml) then annotation processing should just work. If not, try manual configuration.
Usually this means that the annotation processor didn't do its work. That might be due to misconfiguration or random problems with the IDE. In my experience, every now and then I had to clean the project and build everything again.
