   The project defines the gradle version to use, and downloads a "gradle wrapper" (`gradlew`) that is installed locally to the android project.
   
   In normal android projects, the gradle version is defined in a gradle config like in https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/test/android/wrapper.gradle
   
   Cordova does some manually stuff manually, but will generate a file similar to the one I linked above for your android project.
   
   The main gradle executable (`gradle`) will be searched for in the `PATH` system variable, and if missing, it may search for locations in the android studio/sdk directory. But Google tends to move things around frequently so relying on the fallback isn't very reliable.
   
   Hope this helps. If you have further questions, I invite you to ask on our [slack](http://slack.cordova.io/)
   
   @brodybits I'm not sure what exactly should be documented. Most of this I don't think is relevant to most users, maybe only to plugin developers? But if you think something should be documented, then perhaps raise an issue on [cordova-docs](https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs)?
