Groovy doesn't embed gradle, this is the reason I was pointing you to that
example.
Here are the notes from Groovy:
==========================
At the top directory of your unpacked source, you need to run the command:
gradle
This sets up the Gradle wrapper and from then on you just need the `gradlew`
command instead of `gradle`.
==========================
I hope it helps,
