Description
I was trying to generate the RIBs plugin manually because the one in the InteliJ plugin store and the one referenced in the docs are broken on Android Studio and InteliJ compatible only. I followed the steps in the wiki but got the following error:
A problem occurred configuring project ':tooling:rib-intellij-plugin'.
Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':tooling:rib-intellij-plugin:classpath'.
Could not resolve org.jetbrains.intellij.plugins:gradle-intellij-plugin:1.5.3.
Required by:
project :tooling:rib-intellij-plugin
> No matching variant of org.jetbrains.intellij.plugins:gradle-intellij-plugin:1.5.3 was found. The consumer was configured to find a runtime of a library compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally, as well as attribute 'org.gradle.plugin.api-version' with value '7.2' but:
- Variant 'apiElements' capability org.jetbrains.intellij.plugins:gradle-intellij-plugin:1.5.3 declares a library, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares an API of a component compatible with Java 11 and the consumer needed a runtime of a component compatible with Java 8
- Other compatible attribute:
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.plugin.api-version (required '7.2')
- Variant 'runtimeElements' capability org.jetbrains.intellij.plugins:gradle-intellij-plugin:1.5.3 declares a runtime of a library, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares a component compatible with Java 11 and the consumer needed a component compatible with Java 8
- Other compatible attribute:
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.plugin.api-version (required '7.2')

Start with the Android Tooling wiki instructions and the tooling/rib-intellij-plugin Gradle project named in the error. Reproduce the build and inspect its Java and Gradle plugin compatibility; done means the RIBs IntelliJ plugin can be generated successfully using the documented steps.
