IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3 cannot create new maven module?

Question

I have just updated my IntelliJ IDEA to 2017.3 but I cannot seem to insert new Maven module? When I try to insert it nothing happens at all. I have opened idea.txt log and found this:

It seems like there is an issue with Gradle classes missing, but I don't use Gradle at all in any of my projects. What should I do?

Answer 1

There was an issue with Kotlin plugin. Will be fixed with the soon version update. In the meantime the workaround is to either Enable Gradle plugin or disable Kotlin plugin.
