How to best extend the jacoco plugin

i’d like to have the gradle jacoco plugin extended so it can be a dump client, the ant task description is here: http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/ant.html. an alternative is shown here: http://www.intothepool.org/2012/04/jacoco-tcp-server-setup-and-reporting.html . i asked for help at the jacoco list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jacoco/uZ7qfPOWPgo but marc basically referred to get in contact here.

the source code for the plugin is here, isn’t it: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/75165d22a318ff0e73c5615038452dce2c16e04b/subprojects/jacoco ? i’d be really glad if somebody more experienced could give hints if and if yes how to fit this in?
