Clover makes use of the following excellent third-party libraries:
A public domain parser generator. | |
A lightweight library for multi-machine communication. | |
A library for generating PDF documents. | |
The Ant build system. | |
Templating engine used for HTML report generation. | |
An open source library for generating charts. | |
A JavaScript library for popups and tooltips. | |
An open source toolkit for creating interactive data visualisations. | |
An agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine. | |
An advanced, open source web application framework based on Groovy. |
To prevent library version mismatches, all of these libraries have been obfuscated and/or repackaged and included in the Clover jar. We do this to prevent pain for users who may use different versions of these libraries in their projects.
