I want to try the gradle-kotlin but i just can't figure oit how to start a new gradle-kotlin project from scratch in IntelliJ idea..

[bamboo]

I usually start by copying the hello-kotlin sample (https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/master/samples/hello-kotlin/) and then importing the project

[bamboo]

We have plans to make the initial experience better though: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1673

Yes it will be a better expierience that way if i can create a new project directly from the new project wizard.
Thanks @bamboo

Is there any documentation regarding kotlin-gradle stuff like tutorials etc for newbies??

[bamboo]

https://guides.gradle.org/building-kotlin-jvm-libraries/

@bamboo I tried the build.gradle.kts file mentioned in the above guide url but it shows error please review is the syntax up-to-date

[bamboo]

What’s the error?

[kartikpatodi]

I guess it should be kotlin("jvm") version "1.1.4" instead of kotlin("jvm", "1.1.4")

Also the sync is lagging for some reason so autocomolete popups showup with delay
Currently using IntelliJ Idea 2017.2.5
