org.w3c.dom.ElementTraversal Crash When Using Gradle above 4.4

Question

I created a new Android application project on MacOS and I faced this error when I tried to change GradleWrapper in Android Studio.

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.5-all.zip (4.4,4.5,4.6) Gradle build will toast this error

Does anybody know how can I fixed this issue?

There's a chance an application has added jar libraries into your Mac's /Library/Java/Extensions directory.

Try removing or moving xercesImpl.jar to a temporary location. This has solved the problem on my Mac.
