I had some fun recently.
I want to try a set of scripts and builds with different versions of Gradle
and Groovy.
I used GVM in my script and was happy with the result testing all variety
of Groovy and Gradle versions.

Then I tried to create do the same on Windows. There is a port of GVM for
Powershell but it was a real challenge . You couldn't just enter a script
and be up and running. You had to change permissions to allow it to work
and start a new shell and then try to get Powershell scripts working that
uses gvm as expected...

I eventually just used cygwin.

Maybe the simplest is to suggest the Gradle project provides a simple
download called gradle-wrapper.zip with instructions so that users can
fetch and unzip the wrapper and be up and running in no time.
