I just updated to IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.4 and now get this startup error:

I found this article (see the comments section) and tried following the advice there and disabling the Kotlin plugin - I just tried entering the line:
Kotlin
in the config/disabled_plugins.txt file, but that didn't work - not sure i have the plugin name right. I also just tried nuking the Kotlin directly under the IDEA plugins directory but still no luck.
Any ideas?
I ended up fixing this by taking the nuclear option and re-installing the IDE. Now works with a fresh 15.0.4 download even without the plugin disabled. The re-install is actually pretty painless. All my settings and config are still there. Only thing I had to do was add my license key again.
