After downloading the sample application (play-java-starter-example.zip) and importing it in intellij, I get the following error:
org.gradle.tooling.internal.protocol.BuildExceptionVersion1: org.gradle.model.internal.core.ModelRuleExecutionException: Exception thrown while executing model rule: PlayApplicationPlugin.Rules#createBinaries(ModelMap<PlayApplicationBinarySpec>, PlayApplicationSpecInternal, PlatformResolvers, PlayToolChainInternal, PlayPluginConfigurations, File, ProjectIdentifier) > create(binary)
