Gradle: keep bat file(s)

[praseodym]

While I like that Homebrew removes useless files like bat and cmd files, the gradle.bat file which is removed by the Gradle formula is actually used by several applications to recognise the Gradle installation folder.

One of these applications is Eclipse: it does not accept the Gradle path unless a gradle.bat file is present. Doing a touch gradle.bat is sufficient, but annoying, so I thought it'd be easier to just keep the distribution's bat file around.

That is... an oddly brittle check.

But on the other hand, having some .bat files around isn't going to hurt anything---especially since they are sandboxed in the libexec folder.

Pulled.

It checks for a few more things (see the source), but the only reason to check for a .bat files would be because it's cross-platform code.

Thanks for pulling!

Yeah, but one would think that check would be restricted to the platform that requires it:

if ( running_on_windows ) {
  check_for_bat_files()
}
