Gradle ignores any installed Groovy version. It uses the one it comes  
shipped with. This is important as Groovy is not necessarily 100  
percent backward compatible, even for revision releases. Relying on  
the installed Groovy version would seriously affect the Gradle user  
experience. I'm not sure about the best way to use Gradle with package  
managers in the future. The downside of our current approach is of  
course the larger package size.
