I did get this to work, to ensure i always had the correct jacoco runtime available i added a configuration with the dependency and then wrote the correct org.gradle.jvmargs to the gradle.properties file before then running the build:

> ./gradlew setupJacocoProps  
> ./gradlew integTest

etc

> configurations {  
> jacocoRuntime  
> }

> dependencies {  
> jacocoRuntime “org.jacoco:org.jacoco.agent:${jacoco.toolVersion}:runtime”  
> }

> task setupJacocoProps \<\< {  
> file(‘gradle.properties’).write(“org.gradle.jvmargs:-javaagent:${configurations.jacocoRuntime.asPath}=destfile=$buildDir/jacoco/testKit.exec”)  
> }

Hope this helps.
