It's not the only problem. The other two problems we encountered are: - there are bugs in cobertura that generates errors (typically when using floating numbers with hexadecimal encoding, which is very important for some specific constants representing specific numbers in IEEE encoding) - cobertura CANNOT be switched off when in parent pom. All normal means to to prevent it completely failed up to now. So we could not live with the current pom >>>>> >>>>> The problem is that Jacoco produces bogus results as I recently emailed >>>>> about the [io] component.

Strong -1 to bring cobertura back to parent unless it can *really* be switched off, which was not the case with parent 28 and earlier. If it can be switched off, then yes, this makes sense. >>>> Why not include both as options, so components can choose? >>>> >>> Sure, why not, it would be nice to be able to run both for the same report >>> set to see the differences. >> As a test I created profiles for JaCoCo and Cobertura. >> These work fine when activated via the command-line. >> >> I had hoped to use a property defined in the component POM to enable >> the default coverage provider, unfortunately the profiles are resolved >> before the properties are defined. >> >> However file-based activation does work OK - this would require >> projects to define a dummy file somewhere, for example: >> >> src/site/resources/coverage.jacoco >> or >> src/site/resources/coverage.cobertura >> >> A component can thereby define the appropriate default coverage tool. >> >> This can be overridden on the command line, for example: >> >> -P!jacoco -Pcobertura > > Why not just let projects add a coverage reporting plugin if they > want it? I think that is how maven is designed to work :) This would be a good solution. In fact when I replaced cobertura with jacoco, my intend was much more to remove cobertura than impose jacoco. The previous discussion we had seemed to show that we did want a shared coverage tool, but cobertura was really a problem. Now we find that Jacoco also has some major drawbacks, so I guess the proper way is to forget the idea of a shared tool and let components choose their own way. So either we find a *real* way to prevent one from running and use the other, or we don't put anything at parent level and let components do this. Both solutions are equivalent to me until we find a third tool, a fourth tool ... in which case handling all possibilities in the parent pom becomes cumbersome and handling this at component level seems to remain manageable. best regards, Luc > > Phil >> >>> Gary >>> >>>> I'm currently experimenting with profiles to see if this can be done >>>> easily. >>>> >>>>> Gary >>>>> >>>>> -- >>>>> E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org >>>>> Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition< >>>> http://www.manning.com/bauer3/> >>>>> JUnit in Action, Second Edition <http://www.manning.com/tahchiev/> >>>>> Spring Batch in Action <http://www.manning.com/templier/> >>>>> Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com >>>>> Home: http://garygregory.com/ >>>>> Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory >>>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >>>> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >>>> >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org >>> Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second >>> Edition<http://www.manning.com/bauer3/> >>> JUnit in Action, Second Edition <http://www.manning.com/tahchiev/> >>> Spring Batch in Action <http://www.manning.com/templier/> >>> Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com >>> Home: http://garygregory.com/ >>> Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> >> > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
