No offense, but regardless of how right you might be, you come off as a bit of a condescending asshole. Like "Oh, you don't know that there's a more efficient way to do things? There can't possibly be any explanation other than you're literal human garbage and presumably have brain damage!". Come on, get off your high horse.
I'm really not on my high horse here, if you have a team working on a java project that's that hard to build, they're doing it wrong. Doesn't even matter what the language is really.
So "no offense", but shove it.
It is. There's really no excuse for that. If it's been similar every time then you've worked on crap every time.
Building a java project should be (and is on projects I work on) as easy as installing a jvm and running either maven or gradle to build it. End of story.
"Install some lombok plugin" is only necessary if you want the IDE to understand lombok, IntelliJ will just pop up a box saying "Want this?" and you click "Yes". I don't see what's so onerous about that.
The rest you describe is really down to poor developers.
