[GRADLE-2423] gradle distribution always downloaded, even if it is present in distributionPath Created: 06/Aug/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

The gradle wrapper documentation states the following:

The wrapper downloads a certain distribution only once and caches it. If your distribution base is the project, you might submit the distribution to your version control system. That way no download is necessary at all. This might be in particular interesting, if you provide a custom gradle snapshot to the wrapper, because you don't need to provide a download server then.

Prior to gradle 1.0 this was true; the distribution could be checked in with the project and would not be downloaded in a new environment. As of gradle 1.0 this no longer works. Even if the distribution is present, gradle will download the binary and extract it over the existing distribution.
