Unable to find delimiter regex ^package

Spotless version 3.10.0.

Not sure if I'm going to have time to fix this one myself.

[nedtwigg]

For gradle we can fix here:

spotless/plugin-gradle/src/main/java/com/diffplug/gradle/spotless/JavaExtension.java

Lines 193 to 195 in bf3b57f

	if (LicenseHeaderStep.name().equals(step.getName())) {
	return step.filterByFile(SerializableFileFilter.skipFilesNamed("package-info.java"));
	} else {

Not sure where to fix for maven...

[JLLeitschuh]

@nedtwigg Can you at mention the person who wrote the maven plugin to ask them?

[lutovich]

Hi @JLLeitschuh,

PR #273 should solve this problem for maven by also skipping package-info.java and module-info.java. Currently it adds same SerializableFileFilter as your PR. We should probably extract it in a single shared constant. It also requires your fix to execute spotlessApply on the test module-info.java :)

[nedtwigg]

Both fixes are merged. I think refactoring into a shared constant is a good idea - makes it easier to do similar modifications in the future. I'll leave this issue open in case this refactor makes it to the top of anyone's todo list. I'll ship a release whenever somebody wants it, dunno if @JLLeitschuh has more Java 10 fixes inbound.

[JLLeitschuh]

Nope, nore more fixes inbound. Sorry for the long delay on reply, been busy.
