For Gradle 6

bootJar {
    archiveBaseName = 'freeway-server'
    archiveVersion = '1.0.0'

}

For get:-

System.out.print(bootJar.getArchiveBaseName().get())
System.out.print(bootJar.getArchiveVersion().get())
System.out.print(bootJar.getArchiveFileName().get())

Most people simply want to not have the version in the jar name, not change the name completely.

tasks.withType<org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.bundling.BootJar> {
    archiveVersion.set("")
}

will do it using Kotlin DSL. The final name is given by tasks.bootJar.get().archiveFileName.get().
