updating gradle wrapper files gives different results

gradle version --> 2.11

in an empty directory i start new gradle project asking for wrapper 2.14.1:

gradle wrapper --gradle-distribution-url https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

then i commit everything:

git init
git add .
git commit -m'gradle wrapper'

now i update wrapper to the same version but using wrapper for this:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-distribution-url https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

and it seems that all files have changed: git status:

    modified:   gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
    modified:   gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
    modified:   gradlew
    modified:   gradlew.bat

why i got different jar and wrapper scripts? i ask for the same version of wrapper using different gradle distribution and i get completely different result. why? and what is the correct way of updating wrapper jar AND wrapper scripts?

Solution

  • it seems like the ./gradlew wrapper ... command imports the wrapper files (jar and scripts) from the version you requested. the gradle wrapper command imports the wrapper for the same version as your local gradle installation
