Can't navigate to gradle/java external dependency

Look for analyzer.7z on support.

See the README file for how to reproduce.

I didn't see any source jars listed in the External_Tagging_Dependencies project.  Did you have tagging dependencies selected in the Gradle Options before?

When I go through the Build -> Gradle Options for the project, and check the apache poi dependencies, I can go to that tag.

Thanks for pointing that out Patrick. I guess I sort of assumed that it would work right out of the box, did not realize I had to go to "Build->Gradle Options".

Could be useful to somehow make that discoverable by a user to do Build->Gradle Options.

If I add a new dependency in my build.gradle file, will I need to go back into Build->Gradle Options to add it?

I thought there was some menu item I had to use to find my dependencies, I looked in the "Project" menu but did not look into the Build menu.

We don't automatically resolve the dependencies for Gradle when the build.gradle changes.  Sometimes the resolution can be slow, as Gradle will hit the network to resolve the transitive list of dependencies.  I experimented with having this run in the background, but if it was really long running, I had problems with other gradle commands blocking while it ran.  So for now, it is manual.

You have a good point, it could be more discoverable.  It may be possible to pop up a toast with a "click here" to update your tagging dependencies when we see that the dependency section of any of the build.gradle files has changed.
