I am not familiar with Cobertura and need to understand better what it
takes to make it work for Eclipse and/or OSGi applications. Can you
confirm the following assumptions are correct and/or point me to
relevant Cobertura documentation
1. application and test classes need to be instrumented with metric
collection "hooks" during the build time
2. instrumented code requires some support libraries at runtime
3. collected data needs to be processed into human readable report after
the test
Also, do you know if Cobertura has explicit support for testing eclipse
and/or OSGi applications?
Also, lets move this discussion to tycho-us...@lists.sonatype.com, if
you do not mind.

I think having test coverage support is always good. I do not have any
particular requirements at this stage (other than it should of course be
able to interact with the test coverage tool as seamless as possible).
FYI, I just tried Tycho with Cobertura, and it gave an error complaining
about dependency to the test plugin could not be resolved. I ran 'mvn
cobertura:cobertura' from the parent pom directory that contains several
modules (one of which is the test plugin). Note that 'mvn integration-test'
ran without problems.
This is maybe a premature question having known that Tycho has not been
tested with any test coverage tool yet, but if I want to try to get Tycho up
and going with Cobertura possibly with some tweaks, do you think this is
possible at this stage at all (just wanted to have an answer that I can pass
on to my colleagues)?

The most direct and honest answer is probably "no". This came up several
times in our internal discussions, but we have not tried any test
coverage tool with Tycho yet.
Adding such support seems like an appropriate discussion topic for the
new tycho-users mailing list we just setup [1]. So if you have
particular tool in mind and/or can provide general requirements, you can
subscribe to the list by sending email to
tycho-users-subscr...@lists.sonatype.com
