This is definitely something we are going to address. We had a long discussion about this with how we want to address this. I think on the dev list.
So the gradle command will eventually respect the wrapper.properties. It is just a question of priorities. The use cases for this are obvious. For example when you are in a subproject and want to trigger a partial build and also a more consistent behavior when you deal with multiple builds (one might have a wrapper the other not).
