   Interesting, as I thought (at least historically) there was a Gradle version 
bundled. As I mentioned in my original post, there currently exist two options: 
(1) prefer wrapper, (2) custom. I'm interested in another option which chooses 
the wrapper if present, or a custom Gradle if not. Not all projects have a 
wrapper definition, so having a suitable fallback seems to make sense.
   
   Until recently I've mostly been using a custom Gradle option, pointing to a 
symlink for my own Gradle installation. However this doesn't accommodate some 
projects (e.g. web projects) which currently need an older Gradle version to 
work correctly with NB IDE interface. My most typical workflow is actually to 
_not_ use wrapper during development (then hard-define it at point of release), 
as I aim for most of my own projects to use cutting-edge versions where 
possible, and this seems the simplest workflow. However, some projects clearly 
need to override this and use older versions. Yes, I could indeed define 
wrappers for every project, yet it adds yet another layer of admin burden.
   
   This seems likely a simple enhancement to NB, although admittedly not a 
priority, hence a feature request rather than bug report.
