Great! I'm glad there's finally a solution for this very annoying behavior.

Rationale
IntelliJ doesn't seem to recognize buildscript dependencies that come from
settings.gradle. This causes class imports from our gradle plugin to show up as errors in the IDE.With some experimentation, I discovered that adding the dependency to the root

org.labkey.gradle.util.ExternalDependencyfrom files that need it.Before:
