 ## [Unreleased]
 ### Fixed
+- `expandWildcardImports()` now builds its type-solver classpath from each Java source set's compile classpath instead of every resolvable configuration. Unrelated configurations (for example generated-code or custom resolvable configs that are not ready yet) are no longer resolved. ([#2998](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/2998))
 - `spotlessCheck` violation message now suggests the correct composite/included-build task path (e.g. `./gradlew :my-utils:spotlessApply`) instead of a bare `spotlessApply` / `:spotlessApply` that does not select included-build tasks. ([#2421](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/2421))
 - Parallel multi-project builds no longer intermittently fail with "Cannot fingerprint input property 'stepsInternalEquality': ConfigurationCacheHackList cannot be serialized" / "Failed to provision P2 dependencies" when using `eclipse()` (or other P2-backed steps). Subprojects now share one deduping P2 provisioner and P2 queries are serialized process-wide. ([#3004](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/3004))
