Thank you Pieter. I am also considering that the best option is to switch to Maven projects in the next course. I have to prepare some brief introduction to Maven to the students, but if we maintain things simple I thing that there should be no problems. ________________________________ De: Pieter van den Hombergh <pieter.van.den.hombe...@gmail.com> Enviado: lunes, 27 de mayo de 2019 20:01 Para: Eduardo Mosqueira Rey Cc: users@netbeans.apache.org Asunto: Re: JaCoCoverage plugin
Hi Eduardo, I was in similar situation, but then followed Geertjan Wielenga’s advice to consider maven over ant based projects. If used properly, maven does all the rights things and better. So I have made the switch, and are happy with it. Supplying the students with a proper parent-Pom takes a lot of the scary things of maven away, because in there you can provide things like coverage (== Jacoco ) as a maven dependency, so that students only have the libraries their projects actually need. I will switch over to maven projects for our initial java course too in September. To find some examples, have a look at github sebivenlo, where you find such parent-pom, called sebipom and a few projects that use that parent. Navigate to https://github.com/sebivenlo/sebipom And it sibling projects on github to see what I provide. If you want some example exercises, let me know and I will send them using a private channel.

It had an easy and straightforward installation and was very simple to use, ideal for newbies. Nevertheless, the plugin is no longer maintained at it doesn’t work with NetBeans 11.0. This year I want to migrate the classroom installation to Apache NetBeans but the lack of a coverage tool is an inconvenient. Is there an easy way to install a Coverage tool (whatever) in NetBeans 11.0? *easy to install* is an important requirement. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
