This is a good question! Your tip would be useful for Android Studio users as well, I guess.

Just FYI, for IntelliJ users, you can also do this:

1. Project Settings > Modules > click Dependencies tab > click "+" button > select "JARs or Directories"
2. Find the .jar and choose it
3. Move the .jar on top of the list of Dependencies (even before the SDK)
4. Change the scope to 'Provided' (not 'Compile')

By step 4, you can avoid making a huge .dex. (Your apk will not include the framework.jar.)
