Per the user guide, the way to use the idea plugin is as follows: buildscript {
repositories {
mavenRepo urls: 'http://gradle.artifactoryonline.com/gradle/plugins'
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.gradle.plugins:gradle-idea-plugin:0.2"
}
}
followed by: apply plugin: 'org.gradle.idea'
I was a bit surprised by this, having come from using the eclipse plugin, which has a more built-in feel. I can simply say apply plugin: 'eclipse' and I'm done. Why the difference with idea? |

The difference is historical. The idea plugin code was originally written outside the Gradle source repository. Since the 0.9-preview3 release, it has moved into the Gradle repository. And so, it's now part of the distribution, and you use it the same way that you use the eclipse plugin. |

great, thanks. has the documentation been updated (in trunk) as well? |

Originally, I was trying apply plugin: 'idea'
which resulted in gradle complaining as follows: * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'myproject'. Cause: Plugin with id 'idea' not found. trying apply plugin: 'org.gradle.idea'
results in the same error. The only way I'm able to resolve this is by adding the buildscript { ... }block as advertised in the current docs. I'm using 0.9-preview-3, btw. |

reopening, based on my previous comment |

My previous comment was a bit unclear. The idea plugin was not included in the 0.9-preview-3 release, and so you have to use the buildscript { } declaration if you're using that release. After we did the 0.9-preview-3 release, we merged the idea plugin into trunk (and updated the documentation too), so that in the next release the idea plugin will work the same way as the eclipse plugin. |

Ah, that's clear, thanks. Hopefully the plugin name will simply be 'idea'? This is symmetrical with the non-qualified 'eclipse' plugin name. It would be (aesthetically) unfortunate to have apply plugin: 'eclipse' apply plugin: 'org.gradle.idea' |

it's called 'idea'. |
