Major mode for syntax highlighting *.gradle files?

[Andrew]

I don't care about launching or connecting to gradle from Emacs, I just want to edit *.gradle files and have basic syntax highlighting. Could there be a major mode for doing this?

[Esteban Gutierrez Mlot]

yes, I would also like syntax highlighting

[Jeff Wong]

You can do syntax hilighting in groovy mode - https://github.com/Groovy-Emacs-Modes/groovy-emacs-modes which auto highlights .gradle files after install.

It is called groovy-mode in melpa.

groovy-mode solves this completely. This can probably be closed.
