Clover Troubleshooting

Compiling my instrumented sources fails with a 'code too large' error.
For some statements in my code Clover reports "No Coverage information gathered for this expression". What does that mean? — Clover will not measure coverage of a conditional expression if it contains an assignment operator.
I'm trying to get a coverage report mailed, but I keep getting "mail Failed to send email". How do I fix this? — The Ant <mail> task depends on external libraries that are not included in the Ant distribution. You need to install the following jars in ANT_HOME/lib, both freely available from Sun:
I'm using the maven-clover-plugin version 2.4 with a license downloaded from Atlassian and get the message 'Invalid or missing License'

Two questions to ask yourself first when troubleshooting Clover
When generating some report types on my UNIX server with no XServer, I get an exception "Can't connect to X11 server" or similar. — This is a limitation of the Java implementation on Unix.
When using Clover, why do I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when I run my code? — This probably indicates that you do not have clover.jar in your runtime classpath.
When using Clover from Ant, why do I get "Compiler Adapter 'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.CloverCompilerAdapter' can't be found." or similar? — You need to install Clover in Ant's classpath.
Why does the 'Test Results' summary page report show that I have unique coverage, when the source page shows no unique coverage? — The source view only shows unique coverage aggregated at the line level, not per statement or branch. The unique coverage indicates that either:
Why do I get 0% coverage when I run my tests and then a reporter from the same instance of Ant? — This occurs because Clover hasn't had a chance to flush coverage data out to disk.
Why do I get an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when compiling with Clover turned on? — Instrumenting with Clover increases the amount of memory that the compiler requires in order to compile.
