It looks like Gradle 4.8 changes something which causes common modules to break searching for the compileJava task. Although the stacktrace contains nothing about the multiplatform Gradle plugin being the source of the lookup, this is only happening for me in common module projects where the only plugin applied is org.jetbrains.gradle.platform.common.

Exception is

Caused by: org.gradle.api.UnknownTaskException: Task with path 'compileJava' not found in project ':references'.
