Hmmm, none of this should be necessary. However, we've just changed how the builds are handled so it's possible that what you're seeing is due to some of these changes. However, it's more likely that it's due to this: "I've opened the project in Idea EAP and pointed it to the Idea EAP SDK (since "Idea sdk" is not defined in my IDE settings)".
Don't do that; it' very important that you build the plugin with exactly the same IDEA sources as we are, and in particular, the idea133 branch. The top of the tools.android.com/build/studio page has the information on how to set up your IJ with the right SDK name such that you can open the tools/idea project directly. Oh, and yes, you need the repo command; installation instructions are here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html I realize that step was missing from the tools.android.com/build/studiopage, so I just added it. -- Tor On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 7:37 AM, Clifton Craig <[email protected]>wrote: > I tried switching to the canary branch, compiling, and fixing dependency > issues the entire weekend… one module at a time.
