Clover-for-Maven 2 Installation Guide

To use Clover with a Maven 2 project you only need to make small changes to settings.xml and pom.xml.

1. Set up your .m2/settings.xml by adding:
   
   .m2/settings.xml

   ...
   <pluginGroups>
       <pluginGroup>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</pluginGroup>
   </pluginGroups>
   ...
   

   to tell Maven where to look for the plugin.
   
   This step is not needed if you wish to only run Clover via the pom.xml.
   
   
2. Set up your pom.xml by adding:
   pom.xml

   <build>
       <plugins>
           ...
           <plugin>
               <groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-clover2-plugin</artifactId>
           </plugin>
       </plugins>
   </build>
   

   
   
   You will need to set up your licence, as a <licenseLocation> element in your pom.xml configuration file.
   
   You need a valid Clover license file to run Clover. You can obtain a free 30 day evaluation license or purchase a commercial license at http://my.atlassian.com.
   
   
3. Now, simply invoke Clover with Maven on the command line. This will instrument your sources, build your project, run your tests and create a Clover coverage database. Use the following code:

   mvn clover2:instrument clover2:aggregate clover2:clover
   

   which will create a coverage report. The coverage report will be created in this directory:

   target/site/clover
   

   
   Clover should now be fully set up for basic operation.
