To answer my own question -- the issue is with the version of lombok (0.12.0) not working well with java 8. To fix, I used the cutting edge version of lombok , installed it into my local maven repo with the line
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lombok-edge.jar -DgroupId=org.projectlombok -DartifactId=lombok-edge -Dversion=0.12.1 -Dpackaging=jar
and then changed the dependencies in my pom accordingly.
Once I did that, I was able to compile from command line maven.
