-------------------------------------------

Hi [~mbrohl],

and thanks for all the work! I am preparing the release files for 17.12.06 and testing the build process for 17.12 and I am finding some issues introduced with [https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/commit/d6c6330b390a96bdf6a7d65573117b693455c685]

The problem is that, in the release files, we have to remove the jar file in gradle/wrapper; at build time, as described in the README file, the jar file is downloaded using the script gradle/init-gradle-wrapper

This script actually downloads the jar file and the properties file from 

[https://dl.bintray.com/apacheofbiz/GradleWrapper/]

Currently in init-gradle-wrapper we still have the version 3.2.1; we should also update (I guess) the new properties file to bintray.

I may find other issues (I am still testing) but for now I ma reporting the one above.

> Citing Taher's message at [2]:
> Hello Everyone,
>  
> I received emails and checked resources [1] that seem to confirm JCenter from JFrog is going down and that the last day of operation for the repository is going to be May 1st 2021.
>  
> This is a big deal as many running instances will crash unless updated, so not only do future versions of OFBiz need to adapt, but also existing installations.
>  
> I'm not sure how to best handle this? Especially for production instances out there on older versions of OFBiz. Maybe one solution is to host the existing libraries in some temporary location or try to migrate them to MavenCentral ... Whatever is the solution I think we should make a fast move.
