Spring-data-Jpa and Hibernate-entitimanager dependency conflict in gradle project - spring

Question

I have a gradle project. I am new to gradle and converted one of my project to gradle. My project was working then it started me giving error. Then I noticed that if I comment out my Hibernate-entitymanger dependency, then no error.
Here is my build.gradle snippet
apply plugin: 'application' // implicitly apply java and distribution plugin
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'project-report'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
}
ext {
//Spring
springFrameworkGroupId = "org.springframework"
springFrameworkVersion = "4.2.4.RELEASE"
springDataJpaVersion = "1.9.2.RELEASE"
//Hibernate
hibernateEntityManagerVersion = "5.1.0.Final"
hibernateValidatorVersion = "5.2.3.Final"
sqlJdbc4Version = "4.0"
....
}
dependencies {
compile group: log4jGroupId, name: 'log4j-api', version: log4jVersion
compile group: 'javax.el', name: 'javax.el-api', version: '3.0.0'
['spring-context-support', 'spring-jdbc', 'spring-oxm', 'spring-orm', 'spring-jms', 'spring-test'].each {
compile "$springFrameworkGroupId:$it:$springFrameworkVersion"
}
compile group: 'org.springframework.data', name: 'spring-data-jpa', version: springDataJpaVersion
compile group: 'org.hibernate', name: 'hibernate-entitymanager', version: hibernateEntityManagerVersion
compile group: 'com.microsoft.sqlserver', name: 'sqljdbc4', version: sqlJdbc4Version
....
}
I am simply doing
try (GenericApplicationContext springRootContext = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(RootContext.class)) { //error
BatchImportRequestService batchImportRequestService = springRootContext.getBean(BatchImportRequestServiceImpl.class);
batchImportRequestService.handleRequest(springRootContext, args);
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Exception occurs in loading Spring root context: ", e);
}
When I do this it gives me error that
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/C:/Users/basit.ahmed/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.apache.activemq/activemq-all/5.13.0/4dc8405e5e52a05197e4e91d0e46b353107bcfe0/activemq-all-5.13.0.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

But if comment out my hibernate-entitymaanger dependency, then it stats working. Like
compile group: 'javax.el', name: 'javax.el-api', version: '3.0.0'
['spring-context-support', 'spring-jdbc', 'spring-oxm', 'spring-orm', 'spring-jms', 'spring-test'].each {
compile "$springFrameworkGroupId:$it:$springFrameworkVersion"
}
compile group: 'org.springframework.data', name: 'spring-data-jpa', version: springDataJpaVersion
//compile group: 'org.hibernate', name: 'hibernate-entitymanager', version: hibernateEntityManagerVersion
...
I also run dependency-tree task. Here what I got
compile - Compile classpath for source set 'main'.

How can I solve this issue ? Why I am getting error in case of Hibernate-entitymanger inclusion ?
Thanks
