You can use the following snippet:
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormat;
version=1.0
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
gradle.taskGraph.whenReady {
String buildID = System.getenv()['BUILD_ID']
if (buildID == null){
buildID = dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime())
}
version = version + "-" + buildID
}
task display << {
println version
}
If this script is called by Gradle itself, the current date is used and it
is formatted with a pattern (free to externalize the pattern).
If the script is called by Jenkins, the BUILD_ID environment variable is
used (The BUILD_ID represents in JENKINS the job build time).
And you are able to format this variable (use a different date pattern)
with the ZenTimestamp Jenkins plugin.
