Hi All: I just tried to build the 4.2.2 RC but could not complete the build because I did not tell Maven where my Clover license is located (I do no have it on this PC). As an ASF member, I have access to one, and thank you for including that info in the BUILDING.txt file. So my sort term problem can be fixed because I am in the ASF.
The first short term issue I have is that Clover usage should be documented in each project, not only in httpcomponents-asyncclient. That would be nice to add for 4.2.2/trunk. The longer term issue is why use Clover as opposed to Cobertura which is plain FOSS? I wonder what this community's experience is in this department. Is Clover so much better? I've used it in the past and it works quite nicely as does Cobertura. Sadly, I am not sure Cobertura is actively maintained. Does anyone know? I have two concerns with Closer: (1) The licensing makes is harder for a non-ASF member to build and test. (2) We are not easting our own FOSS dog food. This is more nebulous issue and I do like being able to use best-of-breed solutions. So this last point is philosophical.
