The typical way to use the Clover plugin is by registering a Clover report in your 'project.xml' file, as follows:

  <reports>
    <report>maven-clover-plugin</report>
    [...]
  </reports>

Clover Goals

Goal

Description

clover

This is the default goal. It compiles the project code with Clover, executes the unit tests and generate Clover reports by calling the clover:report goal.

clover:test

Compiles the project code with Clover and executes the unit tests.

clover:test-single

Execute a single unit test and view the test coverage result directly using the Clover Swing viewer. This is useful if you wish to quickly see the action that a single unit test has on the code it tests.

clover:report

Generate Clover test coverage reports with Clover. There are 3 possible reports: HTML, XML or Swing. Whether a report is generated is controlled by the maven.clover.report.ReportName properties. The generated reports show exactly what lines of your code were exercised by your tests.

clover:xml-report

Generate an XML test coverage report with Clover.

clover:html-report

Generate an HTML test coverage report with Clover.

clover:swing-report

Generate a Swing test coverage report with Clover.

clover:on

Activates Clover, which means that any other plugin calling the Ant javac task will find its code compiled with Clover. This is useful for example to Clover Cactus tests: maven clover:on cactus.

clover:off

Deactivates Clover, resetting back the normal javac compiler.

clover:check

Fail the build if the test coverage percentage is below a defined threshold.

clover:save-history

Saves a Clover history point that will then be used for generating history reports when the clover:report goal is called.

clover:merge

Merges several Clover databases into one. This goal is meant to be called in the top level master project (multiproject). It is called automatically by the clover:multiproject goal.

clover:multiproject

Runs Clover on a multiproject and merge the Clover databases.This goal does not generate a report; call clover:report for that or add Clover as a report in your POM.
