**Describe the problem you have**  
Want gradle wrapper support and native gradle support in Katalon, so that when using gradle with Katalon we can choose what gradle version we want per project, rather than whatever locally installed version of gradle the user has. This is what Intellij, Android Studio, and most modern IDEs support. Also native gradle support in katalon would make dependency management more streamlined and robust.

**Please let us know, how would your work be affected while this request has not been resolved?**  
2. I can continue my job, resolving this ticket can boost my performance  
For our custom code right now we need to separately build a jar and import it into katalon. We’d prefer a modern dependency support where we could reference what version and where from a local source and import that for katalon projects to use. For our previous test projects we were able to use gradle wrappers and this helped greatly with dependency management (and really is the future of dependency management). Would be nice if we could use this paradigm going forward with Katalon.

**Describe the feature you’d like or how the current features need to be updated.**  
Native gradle support in katalon. Gradle plugin in Katalon as it stands now is cumbersome and does not have gradle wrapper support. Eclipse I believe supports this as well.

Just would like to bump this because this is a huge feature I assume many people would want, and no one has replied on its feasibility, or if it is being considered. Right now dependency management with Katalon is pretty barebones, and the gradle plugin does not support gradle wrapper and requires you to do things in the command line.
