As the title says, I am having this issue on a gradle project that was created in InteliJ (and worked just fine there with the lombok plugin). I do get normal intelisense but after adding the vmargs option the language server won't boot up.

Environment

• Operating System: W10
• JDK version: 8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.8.1
• Java extension version: 0.0.8

Following https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/Lombok-support this is my settings.json

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "editor.insertSpaces": true,
    "editor.tabSize": 2,
    // C:\Program Files\Java
    "java.jdt.ls.vmargs": "-javaagent:C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar"
}

I imagine this could a problem with

a:) the fact that gradle support is recent and its not a supported feature
b:) my path format is bad (in this case I recommend adding some example for windows to the wiki page for clarity)

It's probably option b. As a java newcommer I have no idea how the formats should look like and querying google is hard since I don't really know what to really ask for however basing myself off http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22310414/how-to-configure-lombok-in-eclipse-luna I think I kinda got right or did I?
