Typically the only time I've seen a spotless error is in newer versions of the build script while still using JDK 8. There should have been a message stating something to the effect of being able to use jdk 11 with a older spotless version or needing to upgrade to jdk 17 / 21. If you go into you gradle.properties file you can enable a option to disable spotless if you have to stay on JDK 8.
