gradle init fails to migrate exiting maven projects

[jagraj]

We have exiting maven projects and we tried to migrate them using gradle init. It migrated projects but when i try to import in the tools and those projects fail to import due to the error generated from gradle init.

One of the child EJB project has dependency on JPA project and here is the entry in pom.xml

com.ibm.ws.svt.gs.garagesale-ee7
CreditCardDBJPA
0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
provided

After gradle init the following entry is generated in build.gradle file and this is failed to import in tools.

description = ''
dependencies {
compileOnly group: 'javax.ejb', name: 'javax.ejb-api', version:'3.2'
compileOnly group: 'org.eclipse.persistence', name: 'javax.persistence', version:'2.1.1'
providedCompile project(':CreditCardDBJPA')
}

In the above build file, the gradle init should have generated with "compileOnly" rather "providedCompile"

Expected Behavior

In the above build file, the gradle init should have generated with "compileOnly" rather "providedCompile"

Current Behavior

In the above build file, the gradle init generated with "providedCompile" .

Error
Could not find method providedCompile() for arguments [project ':CreditCardDBJPA'] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Context
