Updating the Gradle Wrapper

In most cases, a project is built using the Gradle Wrapper. And of course, at some point the version of the wrapper needs to be updated when the Gradle version is updated.

Use the wrapper Gradle task to upgrade Gradle Wrapper. It not only updates the Gradle version in the gradle-wrapper.properties file, but it also updates the Wrapper shell script (gradlew) and the Gradle Wrapper jar (gradle-wrapper.jar).

You can run the wrapper task from the terminal, specifying the latest version

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version latest

or the specific version you want:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 8.1.1
