Hi All:
[I am replying here to message (below) posted on committ...@a.o on

As an open source community, I feel we should eat our own open source
philosophy dog food and use open source software whenever possible. I've
used Cobertura for a while now on various Commons projects and at work
and its reports are just as useful and pretty as Clover. I also believe
that each project community is free to do what it feels serves it best.
At this time, though, I wonder what Clover offer that is so much better
than Cobertura to merit put aside what I feel is an important
philosophical point.
What we do at Apache for this type of issue is very important IMO when
we think about the image and expertise that we project. We are a
technical community and people look to our choices as implicit guidance
if not endorsement. When we pick a commercial product like Clover over
an open source solution (like Cobertura), I feel we are telling the
world that there is no one in the open source space that could serve our
need and that we had to turn to a commercial product. That fact that we
have a free license is besides the point.
My 2c,
Gary

Hi all,
Atlassian has generously donated a site license to Apache for Clover
2.6, to test code coverage for any source code under org.apache.
We've checked the license in here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/donated-licenses/clover/2.6.x/
In Atlassian's words: The license is available to anyone working on
the org.apache.* be it in IDEA/Eclipse/Ant/Maven locally, or on a
central build server. Since the license will only instrument and
report coverage on org.apache packages, please mention that it is fine
to commit this license to each project if it makes running builds
easier. ie just check out the project and run with Clover, without the
need for the extra step of locating and installing the clover license.
Uwe Schindler has worked with Atlassian to upgrade Lucene's nightly
build to use Clover 2.6 and the resulting report is great, eg:
http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/clover-report
Feel free to fold into your build, use Clover during development, etc.
