How to create a gradle-based Java Project in Intellij IDEA 13.0.1 Community

gradle, intellij-idea, java

Solution

When creating new Gradle project, select "Create directories for empty content roots automatically".

New project will have those directories.

Problem

I want to start a empty project with Gradle in Intellij IDEA but it seems not so convenient as Eclipse does. What I did is File->New Project->Gradle. And a project shows up but it's not completed (it has no src folder for example). And I add `apply plugin 'idea'` in the build.gradle. When I refer to the All tasks in IntelliJ IDEA. There are no `idea,cleanIdea,ideaProject` for me to set up a IntelliJ IDEA. In Eclipse+Gradle plugin, just create a new gradle project and everything is ready. I want to know how to do that in Intellij IDEA. Thanks
