Integrating jacoco while building the project

[ssdha...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone ,
I need to know that if we can integrate jacoco agent while my application is getting built by ant , so that i don't need to set any jvm option to hook into jvm .
Thanx in advance

Hi,

instead of using the JaCoCo agent you could pre-instrument your classes
under test and package the agent as regular JAR with your application.
We call this "offline instrumentation", see documentation:

Then how we will get coverage data i.e. Exec file

By default the exec file is written at JVM shutdown. Alternatively you
can request data remotly through TCP connections or request a dump via
JMX. See config options output and jmx:

http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/agent.html

The report task will create a coverage report from the exec file, the
class files and optionally source files:
