How to update the Shadow Plugin from gradle?

Malo Maisonneuve :

I've been trying to install warp10, and to achieve that, I need gradle 5.0. However, to update gradle, I first need to update the Shadow Plugin. I have found this resource, but I don't know where to put the following chunk of code:

plugins { id "com.github.johnrengelman.plugin-shadow" version "2.0.3" }

Would anyone know how to do that?

Thanks a lot in advance! Regards.

Current version for shadow is 5.1.0.

And including it should be as simple as including this block in your build.gradle:

plugins {
  id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "5.1.0"
}

Take a look at: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow/

This is one example of a Gradle script:

import org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.logging.TestLogEvent

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets
import java.time.ZoneOffset
import java.time.ZonedDateTime
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

plugins {
  id "application" // https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html
  id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "5.1.0" // Shadow here ;)
  id "eclipse"
  id "idea"
  id "java"
  id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "5.1.0"
  id "org.flywaydb.flyway" version "5.2.4"
  id "org.springframework.boot" version "2.1.6.RELEASE"
}
