What is the Android plugin version included in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

... and how to find it out (in an authorative way)?

In Android Studio 0.8.11: when I check the same it shows 10.0.8.11. which corresponds to http://tool

I think I found a more specific answer, not perfect; it's really complicated as Scott said. I found that the android plugin is referenced from an external repository which is not on github in the getPlugins script:

git clone git://git.jetbrains.org/idea/android.git android

Find the git revision log for IntelliJ

1. Go to Help > About in IntelliJ IDEA (or build.txt in install folder)
2. Check the version number (current latest is IC-139.222.5)
3. http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/android.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/idea/139.222.5
4. Find the last merge: Merge branch 'studio-1.0-release' of .../platform/tools/adt/idea

Unfortunately I didn't find any clear pointer to revision range in the Google Android Studio repo, but you can try matching by dates.

For 13.1.5 on the IntelliJ IDEA website > Downloads: Build: 135.1289

Fallback

To give a rough estimation one can check in

IntelliJ IDEA\plugins\android\lib\android.jar\META-INF\plugin.xml

Where it's clear what is the minimum version is: 10.0.8.12, since any commits after that may be merged until this line changes to the next version.
