|
| 19 | JaCoCo should become the standard tool for instrumentation based code coverage
|
| 20 | in Java VM based environments. The focus is providing a lightweight, flexible
|
| 21 | and well documented library for integration with various build and development
|
| 22 | tools.

|
| 26 | There are several open source coverage technologies for Java. While
|
| 27 | implementing the Eclipse plug-in <a href="http://www.eclemma.org/">EclEmma</a>
|
| 28 | the observation was that none of them are really designed for integration.
|
| 29 | Most of them are build for a particular tool (Ant tasks, command line, IDE
|
| 30 | plug-in) and do not offer a documented API that allows embedding in different
|
| 31 | contexts. One of the best and widely used available open source tools is
|
| 32 | <a href="http://emma.sourceforge.net/">EMMA</a>. While EclEmma is based on it
|
| 33 | the EMMA library is not actively maintained any more by the original author.
|
| 34 | Due to the lack of regression tests maintenance and feature additions will
|
| 35 | become very difficult.

|
| 40 | in Java VM based environments. The focus is providing a lightweight, flexible
|
| 41 | and well documented library for integration with various build and development
|
| 42 | tools. Ant tasks are provided as reference usage scenarios. Other tools like a
|
| 43 | ready to use Eclipse plug-in (future version of EclEmma) might follow.
