Description

It would be great if the wrapper:wrapper goal would use the type of an existing Maven Wrapper as the default, because this would allow making changes to the Maven version or other configuration, without having to specify the type of the existing Maven Wrapper again. This would be especially handy when changing (updating) the Maven version, or the Maven Wrapper version.

This would also avoid accidentally changing the distribution type when a user forgets to specify the type of the existing Maven Wrapper.

It should still be possible call wrapper:wrapper -Dtype=$type to explicitly set a different type for an existing project.

When there is no existing Maven Wrapper, or when it exists but doesn't have distributionType set in maven-wrapper.properties, then the default only-script type should still be used.
