Gradle dex command execution Command line error too long

Question

I am building an Android application for Windows using gradle, and when it comes to the last module, I encounter the following error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':client:test:dexApiPhoneDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
        C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\build-tools\19.1.0\dx.bat --dex --num-threads= 
.....
Error Code:
    1
Output:
        The command line is too long.

I use the command line to build. I know that a similar problem can be solved when using Maven by matching the project with the drive letter, as described here: The command line is too long. in java project with maven

Do you have any ideas how I can solve this problem using Gradle?
