Building fails

[TerryMay]

Following the directions and the build will fail because the sample project tried to access the plugin before it is place.

I fixed the issue by first commenting out the line 'include 'sample'" in the gradle.settings the first time that ./gradlew :plugin:publishToMavenLocal is run

EDIT: I thought that I fixed but it has now failed with a new error, I'll list it here even though it might be a different issue:

        Caused by java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical```

That actually makes sense! Should look for a workaround for that, maybe by using the buildSrc. But as you said, removing include 'sample' for the first time and running ./gradlew :plugin:publishToMavenLocal successfully, you should be able to re-include 'sample' after that and building the project should work just fine.

Try running ./gradlew --stacktrace --console=plain :plugin:publishToMavenLocal and post the complete output here.
