Cobertura plugin: The current thinking is to merge this plugin into more generic coverage plugin. Help appreciated.

[Surya Gaddipati]

I saw the following statement on the wiki page for cobertura pluggin 

"The current thinking is to merge this plugin into more generic coverage plugin. Help appreciated." 

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Cobertura+Plugin

I was wondering how I can help with that effort.   I am interested in generic coverage plugin that would enable me to develop tools on top of it,.

Many years ago, I was working for a company and we were asked to report on test coverage...

So I wrote the clover plugin...

Then we ha a new corporate standard pushed from on high, so I wrote the Cobertura plugin 

Then people started to complain when their 75mb coverage reports did not work

And corp wanted complete coverage including c++, .net, etc

Then launched an effort to unify the three Java coverage plugins, that dragged me off writing maven plugins, and lots of other things

Sonar is probably a better solution for this space but at some stage *if* I ever get time I will work on this again...

It's an interesting and hard problem

Do you have comparison list why sonar is better? AFAIR sonar has unclear old history while jenkins store exact to builds history.

Sonar is in my opinion evil esp when used with maven projects. Maybe things gaffe changed on the post few years but anything that makes a build not reproducible gets left at the door
