> Why do we need to install gradle manually when cordova is also installing a given version. Can't cordova install and use one single gradle version? The system gradle is used to install something known as a "gradle wrapper", which is a gradle at the version specified for the project. Allowing different projects to use different gradle versions. Gradle recommends checking in the wrapper into the repository and redistribute so that users need to have a full gradle install themselves but Apache has a lot of legal policies and security concerns on redistributing binaries since they can be hard to assert that they come from a legit source. This is the primary the reason why we rely on a system gradle to install the wrapper. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
