This is indeed I was also looking into this a few days ago, but I am not a Java programmer at all. However, I would suggest to make a "gradle8" package that could be installed in parallel with the existing Gradle. The benefit is that the new package doesn't need to be feature-complete, and can even (initially) have a higher bug-tolerance while keeping everything running as-is for the time being. These are just my 0.02 cents, and this is where I was trying to go. I also found that downloading the "source" package from the website is probably not a good idea, and went for the Github repository instead, after finding lots of .class files in the "source" repository and getting the impression that some bits might be missing. Questions and comments welcome! Cheers, Toni
