I'm looking to develop an application using gradle, groovy, maven other other products supported by sdkman. I'm using cygwin on a windows 10 machine. All seems good and updates most software packages that are needed. When I get to the point of installing gradle, sdk simply can't download ANY version of gradle. Is this a bug or am I missing something. Here's what I'm getting from my cygwin console.

$ sdk install gradle
Downloading: gradle 2.14.1

unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/Admin/.sdkman/archives/gradle-2.14.1.zip or

Stop! The archive was corrupt and has been removed! Please try installing again.

It seems as though sdk thinks it knows where it is however when it goes to pull it down, it doesn't pull down. Then sdk goes to unpack it and it can't find it. Any advice would be appreciated. Btw, I'm not going through a proxy and everything else seems to install just fine. It is just gradle that has the issue. Also, why is it trying to pull down an old version of gradle (2.14.1)?
I've downloaded the v2.14.1-all version, renamed the file to be gradle-2.14.1.zip.zip and placed it in the /home/Admin/.sdkman/archives/ directory and then did the install for gradle again. This time it found it and installed it as though it had downloaded the correct version. It's a solution for now.
