I'm glad to announce that Gradle 2.2 has just landed in Fedora 22!
There's still much to be done, but I think the hardest part is done.
Thanks to everyone who helped this to happen!

Currently gradle --version prints:

This should definitely be improved, but I will wait for upstream input

PS. Tomorrow I will send an email with more details about Gradle
