The error can be reproduced on either 2.8 or trunk branch by deleting the `.git` folder. We apply `rat.gradle` if `.git` folder exists (see https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/build.gradle#L135) and `rat.gradle` applies java plugin (https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/gradle/rat.gradle#L101). Hence, `build.gradle` does not need to apply java plugin explicitly when there is a `.git` folder. In short, +1 to apply java plugin explicitly. BTW, could you revise the comments about why we have to apply java plugin? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
