Using Clover Core to instrument files at runtime

I've been wrangling with getting OpenClover to work with my use case. I am running a gradle task (not unit tests!), the gradle task executes some code which loads a directory full of .groovy files and executes them. I would very much like to be able to generate a code coverage report of the lines executed in these .groovy files.



So far, my efforts to wrestle the Clover for Gradle plugin into doing what I want to do are in vain (it seems hard-coded to want to run the :test task, rather than the actual task I'm running - I don't want to compile or run the tests!).



So my second idea is, perhaps I could make API calls from my runner script and tell Clover to instrument my groovy files, execute them, and then tell Clover to write out a report. However, browsing their the OpenClover docs doesn't seem to provide any kind of clear internal API.



Am I missing anything, is this type of thing even possible?



(For those curious: the task I'm running is actually a modified JobDSL Plugin for Jenkins, which is processing a massive number of groovy files and outputting many XML files. I am trying to get coverage information on these groovy files so we can find and eliminate dead code, which I know exists but is difficult to spot.)
