Hi,
I'm currently preparing the JDK 16 pipeline and noticed that the org.gradle.internal.launcher.welcomeMessageEnabled property could be disabled via gradle.properties. That makes things a little easier to read in the build scripts if you ask me. This will especially help because I'm likely complicating them a bit with the pipeline adjustments.
Obviously, this will also disable the welcome message for local builds, but I think that's acceptable given that we should be probably aware of the new features before upgrading.
Let me know what you think. Cheers, Christoph

Thanks for the suggestion, @dreis2211. I'd prefer to keep the message enabled for local builds. I think it provides useful information for contributors who aren't familiar with the version of Gradle that we're using.

That's fair, although from personal experience I didn't get much from the welcome message as a contributor. After all it only shows you the last features which most of the time are not directly adopted or irrelevant.
But I'm also highly biased here as a regular contributor and someone who's reading Gradle release notes anyhow, so don't worry ;-)
