Which is why we stopped using it.

I like cobertura. Integration with maven is great; it just works. The 
reports are very clear and make review of coverage localisation easy. I 
do not think that overall coverage is a useful metric. In fact, I do not 
think any metric is useful except as a warning. I am starting to 
appreciate the value of cobertura in drawing my eye to undercovered 
code, hot spots in need of attention.
