maven compile sometimes fail and sometimes succeed

Question

I use vs code and have already installed "Lombok Annotations Support for VS Code". I use maven clear and then compile, and I got Compilation failure. Then when I try maven compile several seconds later, it build success. I do nothing between two maven compilation.
I check the error message, it seems that Lombok annotations don't work.
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) [ERROR] symbol: method setName(java.lang.String)

[ERROR] symbol: method setCustomerUrl ERROR] required: no arguments

And when it build success, I got message

[INFO] Building demo 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] --------------------------------[ jar ]---------------------------------
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:3.1.0:resources (default-resources) @ withjpa ---

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) @ withjpa ---
[INFO] Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

And my pom.xml is

        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.5.1</version> <!-- or newer version -->
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.8</source> <!-- depending on your project -->
                    <target>1.8</target> <!-- depending on your project -->
                    <annotationProcessorPaths>
                        <path>
                            <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
                            <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
                            <version>${org.mapstruct.version}</version>
                        </path>

I am wondering that I should change the plugin version to old version ? But when I change it to 3.1.0 there is CoreException.
Here is my repo : https://github.com/lyl156/backend/blob/master/src/main/java/com/example/withjpa/domain/Category.java

It may be something like a compiler vs runtime list of jars in your classpath. One of them may be missing. Maybe there's a pattern between the build lifecycle and the error you can investigate further. — JGFMK

Try this:

    <build>
        <pluginManagement>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.8.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <source>${java.version}</source>
                        <target>${java.version}</target>
                        <annotationProcessorPaths>
                            <path>
                                <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>

                                <version>${org.mapstruct.version}</version>
                            </path>
                            <path>
                                <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
                                <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
                                <version>${lombok.version}</version>
                            </path>
                        </annotationProcessorPaths>
                        <compilerArgs>

                            </compilerArg>
                        </compilerArgs>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
