Downgrading Android Studio cause unrecoverable error

Question

I recently attempted to upgrade my version of Android Studio, Android build tools and the Android Gradle Plugin to 0.6.1, 19.1.0 and 0.11.1, respectively.

That turned out to be a mess. So much has changed, especially with the location of output files, that it made my project completely barf. So now I want to downgrade back to 0.5.9, when everything worked and was fine, but I can't.

I get the message:

Error:Unable to load class 'org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.model.ExtIdeaCompilerOutput' This is an unexpected error. Please file a bug containing the idea.log file

I've seen a few bugs in the google code forums about this issue, but no mention of any workaround.

I've tried completely wiping my previous install using this post,

And recloning my repo from a place that was known to work with AS 0.5.9 and gradle plugin 0.10.0, but no luck.

So currently I'm dead in the water. Any help would be appreciated.

This is bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=70923, though that report doesn't have any useful information that would help you out. — Scott Barta, Jun 17 '14 at 18:00

The same thing just happened to me. Clearing the IDE's cache solved the issue

In Android Studio
File > Invalidate caches / restart...

What finally solved this for me was uninstalling, via the instructions in this post,

How to completely uninstall Android Studio?

and then installing 0.5.9 from scratch.
