also, in 0.8 is there some other way to use the gradle ext than this? val ext = (this as HasConvention).convention.extraProperties

barteks2x:

var wrapperVersion: String by extra
wrapperVersion = "4.0-20170523130707+0000"

[suresh]

or you can refer the extra property directly and set the value like extra["prop1"] = "value"

[pawel.barszcz]

but then you probably want to cast to `String`:
extra["prop1"] as String, so for uch reason I use own custom externsion function extra.string("props1")
