Gradle build error in Android Project

Question

I am getting following build error

Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

build --debug

build --stacktrace

build --info

Could you show a more complete error by running your gradle build with the "--debug" flag? — Doug Stevenson, Feb 09 '16 at 04:11
Use gradlew assemble --info to get more details and post here — Gabriele Mariotti, Feb 09 '16 at 07:21

Look at the --debug log. There is a very verbose error description starting with the text:

trouble processing "javax/transaction/HeuristicCommitException.class":

Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*) when not building a core library.

This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file in your application's project, when using an IDE (such as Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's going on.

I think the bottom line is that you shouldn't be including libraries that contain classes defined in java.* or javax.*. You'll have to trim down your dependencies. Android development can not normally handle J2EE type code.

thanks a lot, I got the root cause. I have a local maven dependency which uses J2EE library. — Kuldeep, Feb 10 '16 at 00:44

Try cleaning your project.
If that doesn't works then: Try adding multiDexEnabled true to your app build.gradle file

Add

dexOptions {
            preDexLibraries = false
            additionalParameters=['--core-library']
}

In you app level gradel inside android..It will work 100%

No such property: additionalParameters for class: com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.DexOptions_Decorated – Paul Kocian May 09 '22 at 14:37
