Updated the version of Gradle we are using.
Updated the dependencies.
Got the IntelliJ setting worked out.
Remove the Spock dependencies.  Added in the Cucummber Spring library.
Currently, there is an issue with Gradle and Cucumber JVM with respect to test case names and report generation.  See https://github.com/philstyler/cucumber-jvm/commit/ad53bf9bf3f0f0cc0cb3fc8fda31113b56b26899 for details.  The current work around it so disable the generation of reports until the next version of Cucumber JVM comes out.
Got the initial version working.  Not very Groovy though.
Made it a bit more Groovy.
