   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>
