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.
