Currently using Kotlin as Gradle DSL. Following statement works for me:

tasks.withType {
    setProperty("archiveFileName", "hello-world.jar")
}

It works on Spring Boot executable jars as well.

If you want to keep version numbers:

tasks.withType {
    setProperty("archiveBaseName", "hello-world")
}

It will produce something like hello-world-1.2.3.jar
