Can you use the Grails Wrapper to upgrade Grails?

Question

I can't find anything in the Grails docs, but from the wording of the description of the Grails Wrapper, it should be possible.

Can you use Grails (via an installed Grails Wrapper) to upgrade the version of Grails a project (and thus the Wrapper) is using? If so, how?

TIA, g.

I used to just change grails version in application.properties file and run grailsw wrapper to upgrade wrapper. However this doesn't work when upgrading from 2.1.x to 2.2.x anymore.

This does seem to work in later versions of the 2.x branch. Seems 3.x removed the wrapper (and there's debate whether it's coming back). – U47 Mar 09 '16 at 16:57
