Description
Followed these instructions in the README and when I sync Gradle changes in IntelliJ IDEA I get the following error:
Build file 'build.gradle' line: 42
A problem occurred evaluating root project.
> Failed to apply plugin class 'com.palantir.javaformat.gradle.PalantirJavaFormatSpotlessPlugin'.
> Could not create an instance of type com.palantir.javaformat.gradle.SpotlessInterop.
> Could not generate a decorated class for type SpotlessInterop.
> com/diffplug/spotless/FormatterStep
Line 42 is the following:
apply plugin: 'com.palantir.java-format'
I am getting the same error, regardless of whether the plugin is installed or not.
Using Gradle 8.14.3.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Research direction
Start with the Gradle plugin instructions in the README and the application at build.gradle line 42. Reproduce the IntelliJ IDEA Gradle sync using Gradle 8.14.3, then inspect why com.diffplug.spotless.FormatterStep is unavailable while PalantirJavaFormatSpotlessPlugin is applied. Done means the documented setup syncs without the missing-class error, or the incompatibility is clearly documented.
