At the moment, ci.yml contains many gradle task invocations with long exclusion lists like this:

         build test -Dbuild.snapshot=false
          -x integrationTest
          -x spotlessCheck
          -x checkstyleMain
          -x checkstyleTest
          -x spotbugsMain

This is because the jacoco plugin enforces explicit incoming dependencies from all test tasks. This will however also cause the execution of these "through the backdoor" if only a single test task is supposed to be executed.

It would be nice if a solution could be found to avoid that.
