Detailed steps on how to reproduce the bug

In a newly-cloned repo...

cmake -B build -S . -DJUCE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=1
cmake --build build

I'm posting this to revisit #1051, where the issue was previously reported. That bug was closed by @tpoole, but I feel the issue still needs to be addressed.

As @dorev mentioned in the initial bug, building examples/Plugins/ReaperEmbeddedViewDemo/ fails due to a missing header, part of the VST2 SDK which is not included with the JUCE source.

The ReaperEmbeddedViewDemo is the only non-compilable example in the source tree. An #include of the missing header was added in commit 3c5f09243a24f6e77e9f5a536fb7135d8aeac771, and reverting that commit allows that example (and thus, all the examples) to compile successfully.

It doesn't seem like the default example set should require undocumented, unhandled external dependencies. Several other VST plugin examples are built by default, using the headers at modules/juce_audio_processors/format_types/VST3_SDK/.
