Thanks for pointing to the API Marc. So, just to clarify, JaCoCo analyzes the class files even when it is merely displaying the coverage information. I was initially assuming, that the exec format holds the file path and the source line for each covered section. If you cold guide me one final time, where to search/find code related to coloring the backgrounds of java files based on the coverage results, that would be mega helpful. Thank you for your time, and your quick response once again.
