Hello all,

I have a fairly large build in which we use cobertura extensively to look at 
unit test code coverage for our project.  We also have separate integration 
tests that we would like to run using these instrumented binaries.  There is 
some good documentation on how to accomplish that here:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/cobertura-maven-plugin/instrumentingDeploymentArtifact.html

While that would work for a simple case, I'm struggling with trying to 
visualize how this would work in a complex case.  We have several separate 
builds that accumulate to make up the install package that we then push to our 
integration testing systems.  So everyone one of our couple hundred jar's which 
are fed from all these builds would need to be published to a Maven repository 
so that the install builds could pick them up.  But if I push them to my 
standard SNAPSHOT repository it would overwrite my existing non-instrumented 
versions.

We only envision needing this run on a nightly basis.  One suggestion that has 
been proposed is to do the "publish with classifier" thing and a profile that 
turns on cobertura.

Frankly, I'm not sure how that plumbing would work at this point, but I suppose 
it's possible.  Having said that, I think we just got done having that 
conversation on this list and the answer is that that is "not the maven way".

I'm positive I'm not the first one in this boat.  Any thoughts?

-Jim
