I was able to work around this by going to "Edit Custom VM Options..." (on Mac this is in the Help menu) and adding these lines to the bottom:

--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.api=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.file=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.parser=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.util=ALL-UNNAMED

This should be fixed in 1.16.0.0, which uses a newer officially-supported formatter API.
