Jenkins: cannot automatically install gradle. No version list from Gradle.org

in Jenkins, I have always used the option to install Gradle automatically from the Gradle.org server (Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Gradle Installations.

Now I have set up a new Jenkins installation on an Ubuntu 14 System. I installed the Gradle plugin, but now, when I choose "Install automatically" in the Gradle configuration, I am not able to choose the Gradle version that should be downloaded. Usually you get a select box with all available Gradle versions, but in my case, I only get an empty text field under "Install from Gradle.org".

Please see the screenshot https://i.sstatic.net/UhBBa.png

Using Check now button did not work for me. Nor re-installing the Gradle plugin. I only got an empty text field under "Install from Gradle.org". Although, changing browser from Firefox to Chrome helped.

I've lost 2 hours with this when I've finally figured this out. :)

The list of available Gradle versions shown in that UI is download perodically by Jenkins.
However, for Jenkins versions older than 1.619, the list was not fetched after installing a plugin for the first time.

So if you just have the empty text field, most likely the downloading has failed, or you have an older Jenkins version.

As a workaround, you can visit Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Advanced, and click on Check now at the bottom of the page. This will trigger an update of the Gradle versions.
