spotless maven eclipse jdt - How to block import star (*) wildcard?

[tivrfoa]

Hi!

Spotless is really cool project!

I am using maven plugin with eclipse jdt.

Is there a way to block import package.*; please?

I think there is no way (currently) to remove package.* and put the correct imports, but I would like to at least it to give an error, so the developer can fix it.

Thank you!! :)

This sounds similar to #649. One of the comments has something you could try as an alternative.

UPDATE! It worked. Sorry the noise!
The correct location is in fact inside <java>
disregard the text below

Thank you!

Where should the code below be placed in pom.xml please?

              <replaceRegex>
                <name>Remove wildcard imports</name>
                <searchRegex>import\s+[^\*\s]+\*;(\r\n|\r|\n)</searchRegex>
                <replacement>$1</replacement>
              </replaceRegex>

I placed inside <java></java>, but mvn spotless:check didn't spot it :]
I'm using spotless version 2.4.1

					<java>
						<importOrder>
							<order>br,com,java,javax,org,</order>
						</importOrder>
						<removeUnusedImports />
						<replaceRegex>
								<name>Remove wildcard imports</name>
								<searchRegex>import\s+[^\*\s]+\*;(\r\n|\r|\n)</searchRegex>
								<replacement>$1</replacement>
							</replaceRegex>
						<eclipse>
							<version>4.13.0</version>
							<file>${basedir}/eclipse-formatter.xml</file>
						</eclipse>
					</java>
