Couldn't get successful gradle build

I am using gradle version 3.0.0.50 and this is my dependencies.gradle file's jaxb jar:

dependencies {
  compile "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.11" 
  compile "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.2.11"
  xjc "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:2.2.11"
}

When I am trying to run gradle clean build, I am getting the following stacktrace:

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':generat
eEERSClasses'.

I've already tried the solutions presented in this GitHub issue, but none worked for me. The issue is mainly due to this exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/bind/api/ErrorListener

replace compile with xjc...it should work

 dependencies {
        xjc"javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.11"
        xjc "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.2.11"
        xjc "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:2.2.11"
  }
