java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when invoking mockstatic(staticclass.class) - powermock

Question

I have a class called Test as follows
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({Application.class })
public class Test
{
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception
{
Result res= mock(Result.class);
mockStatic(Application.class);
doNothing().when(Application.class, "getResult", res);
}
}
Here getResult is a void static method in Application class.
I'm getting following stacktrace at line mockStatic(Application.class);
LOG:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
Application$$EnhancerByMockitoWithCGLIB$$715802ad Stacktrace
