intellij + gradle + robolectric + espresso

Question

I am trying to setup a project using frameworks listed above. I'm using this demonstration project deckard-gradle and i cannot sync gradle. It says that org.robolectric.gradle:gradle-android-test-plugin:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT was not found. How do i fix this? Has anyone made this work? here is the build.gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.2'
        classpath 'org.robolectric.gradle:gradle-android-test-plugin:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

They currently do not publish snapshot versions of gradle-android-test-plugin. See: https://github.com/robolectric/gradle-android-test-plugin/issues/8
