Yes, I guess Gradle 3 had breaking changes in their groovydoc tasks. I guess we should be mentioning that in the README somewhere. Any gradle version before 3 should work and there be some hack for 3 too no doubt - I'll see what I can do.
There is a 'gradleVersion' property (set in the build.gradle file) which is used when bootstrapping the wrapper, so no need for further instructions in that regard. Cheers, Paul.
