UnknownPluginException: Plugin with id 'com.android.library' not found

See original GitHub issue

The default android project doesn’t seem to work for me. I get the errors:

INFO - .project.GradleProjectResolver - Gradle project resolve error 
org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Could not run build action using Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip'.
...
Caused by: org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file 'blah/MyFancyLibrary/android/build.gradle' line: 2

...
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
...
Caused by: org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin with id 'com.android.library' not found.

What am I doing wrong?

@npomfret For what its worth, Gradle is a mystery to the whole world !! The amount of time this thing consumes if trying to debug is absolutely ridiculous. I have had problem after problem with a fairly large project. Fix one thing and something else complains. The incompatibilities between Gradle and Studio and other, the deprications, it’s just crazy. Yep you’re right, I am not happy 😃

By the way @npomfret and @vikeri thanks for the suggestions, didn’t work for me unfortunately so I will keep running in circles.

I totally agree that gradle is piece of shit and should be erased from this world.
