Android support for IntelliJ 8

I was trying to install this plugin to enable Android support in IntelliJ 8 (Linux version on OpenSolaris). It kept failing to install the plugin.

The terminal showed:
Execute unzip[/export/home/malachi/.IntelliJIdea80/system/plugins/Android_Support_6217.zip, /export/home/malachi/.IntelliJIdea80/config/plugins]
Execute delete[/export/home/malachi/.IntelliJIdea80/system/plugins/Android_Support_6217.zip]

Solution:
Extract the lib/android.jar from Android_Support_6217.zip directly into ~/.IntelliJIdea80/config/plugins (not into ~/.IntelliJIdea80/config/plugins/lib)
Start IntelliJ
