Importing gradle project in IntelliJ

Question

I have IntelliJ 12.0 on and gradle 1.2. on Windows 7. When I try to import a build.gradle file I get the following error message in IntelliJ. I am a bit lost here. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Answer 1

my fix: File -> Project Structure -> change the jdk path to not have jre.

I'm not sure how it got there, but it took me forever to track down. Perhaps because it picked up settings from a previous bad install.

Looks like it might be fixed in 12.1 or 12 EAP: IDEA-102365, IDEA-89697
