Assuming the maintainers are comfortable with the changes, when can I reasonably expect an official release version of the plugin which contains my changes submitted with MCOBERTURA-114?
Background: It is occasionally useful to measure the code coverage for manual and/or automated tests which run against a test environment. (Not to be confused with measuring code coverage of unit tests executed automatically by the build system.) For example, you may have a set of automated regression tests written using JMeter, Selenium, etc. which for some reason or another are not appropriate to run as part of the maven build. To this end I have created a patch which greatly enhances the documentation needed to guide a user for this use case. I have also extended the instrument goal to support registering a module's cobertura.ser file as an attached artifact. This turns out to significantly clean up the child modules of a multi-module project, which would otherwise be cluttered with build-helper plugin configuration details. For more details, I recommend you read the PDF attached to MCOBERTURA-114 which shows the html rendered version of the enhanced documentation. I have also included some scans of hand-drawn diagrams I drew to complement the text. The documentation text in the patch does not currently link to or otherwise include the hand-drawn diagrams. I created the hand-drawn diagrams for use inside my company after I had finished creating the patch.
