I am trying to integrate gradle-errorprone-plugin with Java compileJava task.

dependencies { classpath "net.ltgt.gradle:gradle-errorprone-plugin:0.8" }

apply plugin: "net.ltgt.errorprone"
apply plugin: 'java'

compileJava.dependsOn clean

Gradle Version: 5.2.1
JDK version : jdk-11.0.2

Getting error on compileJava task. compileJava error: plug-in not found: ErrorProne

Did any one face similar issue? Please guide me on this ?

Adding errorprone dependency resolved the issue.
dependencies { errorprone "com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core:latest.release" }
