I understand as Gradle is build tool and android provide plugin for android build.
When Gradle meet "apply plugin : 'android'" gradle-0.13.3.jar will be downloaded somewhere. right??
But I can not find android plugin anywhere.
How does Gradle build android using plugin ??

apply plugin: "xyz"
applies a plugin that's already on the build class path. To get a third-party plugin such as the Android plugin on the build class path, a plugin dependency has to be specified in a buildscript
block. For details on this, check the Gradle User Guide or the Android Gradle plugin docs.
(Gradle 2.1 introduces a new plugins
block that allows to apply plugins available from http://plugins.gradle.org/ without specifying a plugin dependency.)
