I tried it out just to see, here was my experience:
$ git checkout gradle-master
Switched to branch 'gradle-master'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/gradle-master'.
$ ./gradlew help
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Settings file
'/Users/rob.muir/eclipse.workspace/lucene-solr/settings.gradle'
* What went wrong:
Could not compile settings file
'/Users/rob.muir/eclipse.workspace/lucene-solr/settings.gradle'.
> startup failed:
General error during semantic analysis: Unsupported class file major
version 57
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version
