I am running a Kotlin project with ktlint maven plugin (first time user). but whenever I do a maven build. I often see the failure along the lines of
src/main/kotlin/com/myproject/model/User.kt:7:1: Wildcard import (cannot be auto-corrected)
Since I use IntelliJ, I often rely on auto import where many subpackages are grouped into a wildcard (*). Is this what ktline used to enforce good import practices?
As of version 0.34 or thereabouts you can override individual rules via editorconfig. Add this to your .editorconfig file in the root of the project
[*.{kt,kts}]
disabled_rules = no-wildcard-imports

I was using ktlint-gradle and using the command ./gradlew ktlintCheck and my .editorconfig wasn't getting picked up. I solved it by adding this to build.gradle
ktlint {
disabledRules.set(setOf("no-wildcard-imports"))
}
