Extract total coverage from JaCoCo report

Question

How can we extract the total coverage from JaCoCo? I just need that number to use it for external reporting. I see the coverage total in the Jacoco report (HTML), but do not see it in the jacoco.xml.

This is what I tried:

• Generated the Jacoco report using Jacoco maven plugin.
• I see the coverage total % in the report, but do not see it in the jacoco.xml or in jacoco.csv file.

It is not reliable to extract this information from the HTML and would be better if we do it from the data source.

Any suggestion will be greatly helpful.
