Gradle UnitTest | javax.xml.bind.PropertyException: name: eclipselink.media-type value: application/json - json

Question

Need guidance on how to solve the issue occurring while executing a gradle unit-test involving marshaling of a JPA Entity using EclipseLink MOXy jaxb library. The same unit test runs successfully when ran as Junit Test from eclipse. Here is the exception stack trace. My suspect is gradle classpath issue.
javax.xml.bind.PropertyException: name: eclipselink.media-type value: application/json
at javax.xml.bind.helpers.AbstractMarshallerImpl.setProperty(AbstractMarshallerImpl.java:358)
at com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.MarshallerImpl.setProperty(MarshallerImpl.java:527)
I ensured that a jaxb.index file available in com.dams.foo package and listing all the Entities. Here is code sinnpet involved in json marshalling
public static String toJson(Object objectToSeralize) throws Exception {
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("com.dams.foo");
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
marshaller.setProperty("eclipselink.media-type", "application/json");
marshaller.marshal(objectToSeralize, stringWriter);
return stringWriter.toString();
}
I see the required jars are being listed in gradle debug under application classpath
15:37:43.196 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.worker.DefaultWorkerProcessBuilder] Creating Gradle Test Executor 1
15:37:43.196 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.worker.DefaultWorkerProcessBuilder] Using application classpath [C:\dev\build\classes\test, C:\dev\build\resources\test, C:\dev\build\classes\main, C:\dev\build\resources\main, .....

But during test execution I don't see the application classpath being used, but just gradle-worker.jar file only as shown below
15:37:43.212 [INFO] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Starting process 'Gradle Test Executor 1'.

Please help to resolve this issue?
