How can I create a Kotlin project that builds with

I'm trying to create a new Kotlin project that builds with Gradle using IntelliJ IDEA (2016.2.5 on Ubuntu 16.04). When I do this I immediately get an error message.

Here's what I'm trying:

Select "Create New Project" from Welcome Screen.
Select "Gradle" from left hand pane, "Kotlin (Java)" from right. Click "Next".
Enter "hello-world" as ArtifactId. Click Next.
Ensure "Create separate module from source set" and "Use default Gradle wrapper" are selected, nothing else is. Click "Next".
Use defaults for project name and location. Click "Finish".

I then immediately get this error:

Gradle 'hello-world' project refresh failed

Error: Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.1-M02-12.
       Searched in the following locations:
           https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/1.1-M02-12/kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.1-M02-12.pom
           https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/1.1-M02-12/kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.1-M02-12.jar
       Required by:
           :hello-world:unspecified

The generated build.gradle looks like this:

version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1-M02-12'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

How can I create a Kotlin project that builds with Gradle correctly?

In your build.gradle, change ext.kotlin_version to be:

 ext.kotlin_version = '1.1-M02'

^{It's a minor bug that the IDE plugin puts its own version into build scripts, not the Kotlin version.}

And also add the 1.1 EAP repository to the repositories in both buildscript and the root scope:

repositories {
    // ...
    maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap-1.1" }
}

^{Kotlin artifacts related to EAP versions are not put into Maven Central like those of public releases, and this repository is not added automatically into the generated build script.}

Then refresh the Gradle project, and the build should pass.

Feel free to check with this build.gradle file.
