Do I need this Plugin if I add modules through Android Studio? #226

I plan on building my App Engine modules, including the servlets, endpoints, and cloud messaging, through Android Studio. Will all of the gradle settings automatically build or do I still need to incorporate this plugin for my project?

I am a bit confused when this plugin is needed.

The plugin is automatically added to any autogenerated module in AndroidStudio. If you are using those tools, you should see a build.gradle in your appengine module's base directory that includes this plugin.

In android studio, this plugin provides 2 things

  1. the build rules to build an appengine project with special tools for endpoints
  2. the integration points for the IDE to recognize that it is an appengine gradle project so it can do some appengine specific stuff.
