Hello everyone, :)

I found a bug in the Cobertura Maven Plugin. I tried to contact the 
project, but it didn't work. The mentioned issue tracking system (link) is 
down as Codehaus is down:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOBERTURA
Same goes for the mailing lists of the project.

Does anyone know a way to contact them?



Just for documentation purposes a short description of the bug:

I added the following to my pom.xml file with the Cobertura Maven Plugin 
configuration:
<configuration>
    <check>
        <regexes>
            <regex>
                <pattern>org.myproject.*</pattern>
                <lineRate>61</lineRate>
            </regex>
        </regexes>
    </check>
</configuration>

After that I executed the Maven build and got the following error:
[INFO] --- cobertura-maven-plugin:2.7:check (default) @ myproject ---
[INFO] Cobertura 2.1.1 - GNU GPL License (NO WARRANTY) - See COPYRIGHT file

[ERROR] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For 
input string: "null"
    at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.
java:65)
    at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:580)
    at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Integer.java:766)
    at net.sourceforge.cobertura.check.CheckCoverageMain.

CheckCoverageMain.java:114)
    at net.sourceforge.cobertura.check.CheckCoverageMain.main(
CheckCoverageMain.java:163)

The reason: The Cobertura Maven Plugin just is a wrapper for Cobertura. And 
Cobertura expectes - if a regex is used - that a pattern, a aline rate as 
well as a branch rate is submitted. And the Cobertura Maven Plugin doesn't 
check this and fail the build beforehand with an error message describing 
the problem. When I read the error message above I didn't know at all what 
I did wrong or what went wrong. So I had to step through the code to find 
the bug - which isn't satisfying at all.
