Stephen,

I've browsed around the links for Clover. It looks very interesting, but it's not clear to me the constraints under which it operates.

Note that OpenJDK uses jtreg for the publicly available regression tests, and that many of the tests rely on being able to start up one or more new JVMs for the duration of the test. In my experience this has been too much of a stretch for commercially available coverage tools to tolerate, and they typically can't cope and/or fall over. A common assumption for such tools is that all API tests can run sequentially in the same JVM.

Do you know if there are any such restrictions with Clover?

Jonathan:

I would like to see Sonar metrics for the following:
 1.. unit test coverage
 2.. technical debt
I use Sonar on multiple internal projects and these two metrics mean a lot to me.

Cheers, Steve.

p.s. I can provide resources to help with the configuration if required.

Seems we don't' have test coverage in place. Does anyone know if this
is being put in place?

Can you give more details on what you mean or would like to see here?
