Hi guys,

This may sound like a nasty question, but I am wondering if we will be
allowed to put the Gradle wrapper into the source zip of Groovy. As far as
I understand, the policy is *no binaries* in the source tree. But the
wrapper requires at least one jar file to bootstrap itself and download
Gradle.

Not including the wrapper in the sources would defeat the concept of
reproducible builds : unlike Maven or Ant, you can make sure that you build
with the same build tool version as the one the release was made with.

What do you think?

BTW: on a similar topic, we will have to remove openbeans from the repo. It
should be easy to put it on an external repo and grab it through Gradle
instead of directly including the jar.
