I would suggest "java-groovy-bootstrap", because it is the
groovy-bootstrap, written in Java. Convention for programs in language
x is to prefix the name with "x-".

Snippet missing:

              (snippet
               '(begin
                  (delete-file-recursively
              "gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar") #t))

I tried it out, it still builds the whole series until groovy.


Otherwise, LGTM.
