Gradle has to be installed before building ofbiz, so you couldn't use gradle to
install gradle. And I'd prefer not to embed it directly.
The Groovy project has some scripts for this:

To restate, the reason I don't want maven, gradle, or ant embedded into
ofbiz, is that there has been, um, issues, when it comes to using
eclipse, and other tools, that *also* embed ant.
On this same vein, we don't embed the approved version of the jdk into
ofbiz either.
With maven, gradle, and ivy, and more modern systems, the target has
been to move away from embedding dependencies. It's even a best
practice from ASF, as it then reduces the load on mirrors. So, take it
to the logical conclusion, and don't embed the build system either.
