I wanted to archive CODE Coverage report, i wanted jacoco agent to start upon tom cat starts and close and tom cat close but by the end i wanted code coverage report, any how i menage to get the code coverage report by adding following command into tomcat catlina:

if "%1"=="stop" goto skip_agent
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\lib\jacocoagent.jar=destfile=C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\lib\jacoco.exec,append=true,includes=com.softech.*"
:skip_agent


now i read the jacoco.exec file by importing it into eclipse with Ecllma plugin.


please suggest if there is any other better way to read the report

JaCoCo offers several ways to create a coverage report:

1) Ant
2) Maven
3) Eclipse
4) Java APIs

In any case please make sure that the class files used for report
generation are the same class files than the ones used at runtime.

A good entry point is the documentation:
