Hi Michael,
Yes, we first saw this issue on Feb 20, so it makes perfect sense.
Unfortunately our Java projects are based on Java Play using SBT, so we use the sbt-jacoco plugin and not jacoco itself, and while jacoco 0.8.3 was released on Jan 24, sbt-jacoco itself was last released on Jun 22 2018 and is set to use jacoco 0.7.9 - so that approach is blocked for us.

Roy
