NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.infinispan.commons.marshall.jboss.ExtendedRiverMarshaller on Java 11

Question

I am trying to migrate to Java 11.0.2 from Java 8 but my tests are failing when I build(gradle build) the project with the below runtime exception. I can't find anything that has changed in Java 11 which can cause this issue. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated.
