I tried mvn clover:instrument clover:clover and it seems to work fine so
thats just about as easy as cobertura, apart from having to mess about with
a license. AFAICT the Clover Eclipse plugin doesn't support Eclipse 3.2 yet
so I can't use it. Requiring a license is a drawback, especially for
non-committers who would need to go apply for their own free one, so
cobertura seems best to me.

Do we really need to choose one over the other? As we're just running this
on our own local environment can't we just let everyone choose whichever
they like?

I tried both, they were both easy to run and seemed to generate
similar results.

To run clover:
# add <jdk>1.5 to the plugin config in the pom
$ mvn clover:instrument clover:clover

To run cobertura:
$ mvn cobertura:cobertura

Both seem to integrate well with Maven but Clover also integrates
with IDEA and Eclipse so I'm tempted to go with that - any objections?
