FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:kapt'.
> Failed to transform file 'org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.10.0.jar' to match attributes {artifactType=processed-jar} using transform JetifyTransform
> Failed to transform '/Users/nicklas/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.eclipse.jdt/org.eclipse.jdt.core/3.10.0/647e19b28c106a63a14401c0f5956289792adf2f/org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.10.0.jar' using Jetifier. Reason: The type does not support '.' as package separator! Received 'java.lang.Object;Ljava.lang.Class'.. (Run with --stacktrace for more details.) To disable Jetifier, set android.enableJetifier=false in your gradle.properties file.

I am getting the above error when migrated to androidX with com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-rc02.
To reproduce the issue please build the app under https://github.com/nksaroj/xDemo with Android Studio RC2

Please use the command line
./gradleW aDebug
