https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/396
@infil00p I was not aware of this patch (I believe it is CB-12065 #387).
I guess it would solve the issue for Windows right now -- but does not
address the PATH problem (for Windows) in future versions of `cordova-android`,
when `gradle` becomes a requirement.
So in view of this future change, I would argue for the (additional) use of
env variables (i.e. offer users to specify an env variable), because
* it's basically platform independent, in difference to #387, which is
fully automatic, but only works on Windows -- e.g. with env variables, if you
have `gradle` and Android Studio installed on a *nix system, you can configure
Cordova to use Android Studio's `gradle` quite easily
* it's a low maintenance mechanism (i.e. implementation requires mostly no
adjustments, when software paths/structures change), since users are
responsible for providing the correct path
So I would very much like to have the option, to specify the `gradle`
location via an env variable in the future (i.e. when `gradle` will be declared
a requirement), instead of having to install `gradle` separately, and put it
into the PATH variable.
