Hi,

I just started to play with Elastic Search. First: great work Shay!

I now tried to build it from source (./gradlew test) but I get compilation errors:

modules/elasticsearch/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/util/guice/InjectorsTests.java:47: cannot find symbol  
symbol : method getInstancesOf(org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Injector,org.elasticsearch.common.inject.matcher.Matcher\<java.lang.Class\>)  
location: class org.elasticsearch.util.guice.Injectors  
assertThat(Injectors.getInstancesOf(injector,

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I have to admit that I have not used Gradle and Guice so far, even though I always wanted to 🙂

Thanks,  
Daniel

Strang, I don't get this error... . Can you try and run gradlew clean first?  
If you just want to build elasticsearch, a faster way is to do "gradlew  
release". The distribution will be under build/distribution.
