Sourced from com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-maven-plugin's releases.

Maven Plugin v3.8.0

Added

• Add support for custom string format for license header copyright year via yearStringFormat(). (#2965)

Fixed

• <expandWildcardImports> no longer triggers a full transitive dependency resolution on every build. Dependency resolution is now deferred until the step actually runs, so projects that do not use <expandWildcardImports> (or that use version ranges) are no longer penalized. (#2983)

[Unreleased]

[4.8.0] - 2026-06-29

Added

• Add support for custom string format for license header copyright year via yearStringFormat(). (#2965)

[4.7.0] - 2026-06-16

Added

• Add support for AsciiDoc formatting via adocfmt. (#2960)
• flexmark step now supports arbitrary formatter options via a formatterOptions map. (#2968)

Fixed

• FenceStep.preserveWithin now forwards lints from nested steps while still suppressing lints inside preserved blocks. (#2962)
• Support ktfmt 0.63 and use its new builder API for formatting options to better avoid future breaking changes.
• Parse standard git year output in LicenseHeaderStep. (#2940)
• Fix StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in scenarios where copyright year is surrounded by whitespace. (#2973)

Changes

• Bump default greclipse version to latest 4.35 -> 4.39. (#2924)

[4.6.2] - 2026-05-27

Fixed

• P2Provisioner now passes cache directory overrides directly to Solstice. (#2944)
• forbidWildcardImports and forbidModuleImports now detect imports that have leading whitespace (indentation/tabs). (#2939)
• versionCatalog step no longer splits long inline tables across multiple lines — Gradle's TOML 1.0 parser cannot read multi-line inline tables. The maxLineLength option has been removed. (#2948)

Changes

• EclipseJdtFormtterStep now can conditionally set compiler source/compliance options. Allows for better parsing of AST Node for newer language features and more correct sorting; e.g. records or seal classes. (#2942)
• Formatter no longer recomputes line-ending normalization (LineEnding.toUnix) a second time for every formatter step that changes content, removing redundant O(n) work from the core formatting loop. (#2934)
• expandWildcardImports support pom type dependency. (#2839)

[4.6.1] - 2026-05-15

Fixed

• LicenseHeaderStep in SET_FROM_GIT year mode no longer invokes git log through bash -c / cmd /c, eliminating a shell-injection vector when processing repositories that contain files whose names include shell metacharacters.

[4.6.0] - 2026-05-14

Added

• scalafmt() now reads the version from the version field in the scalafmt config file when no version is explicitly set in the plugin config, falling back to the built-in default only if neither is available. (#2922)
• Add versionCatalog step for formatting and sorting Gradle version catalog (.toml) files. (#2916)
• Add javaparserVersion option to the Cleanthat step, allowing callers to override the JavaParser version pulled in transitively by Cleanthat. (#2903)

Fixed
