I found references to this with an older version, but not the most recent. I updated Android Studio to 0.4.3 and created a new project. The build fails immediately with the below:
Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip'.: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip'.

I have tried installing JDK 1.7 and setting my JAVA HOME to that (previously was 1.6) but the same error occurs. My GradleWrapper.properties is:
#Wed Apr 10 15:27:10 PDT 2013
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip
Any ideas?
