Project inactive?

[martinraie]

There has been no activity in this project for almost two years. I was wondering if this project is still maintained? There are several pull requests waiting to be merged. Specifically I'm interested in new Java version features. Any ideas if and when they will be released?

I'm the writer of patches to support JDK10 and JDK11 syntax and bug fixes.

OpenClover seems to be the only open-source Java coverage collector that uses C1 (branch) coverage¹ and supports JDK8.

This characteristic is very suitable for multi-language software development. For example, both Istanbul (JavaScript) and AltCover (.NET) collect C1 coverage. When you develop a system that uses JavaScript for the frontend and Java/C# for the backend, it is difficult to compare the sufficiency of test cases between these languages if you use JaCoCo for the Java code coverage tool. So I am also waiting for the merge of the patches...

Footnotes

1. JaCoCo says it collects C1 (branch) coverage, but actually, it only collects C2 (condition) coverage. ↩

Hello everyone!

Indeed, there was no active development for the last few years in this project. While I'm still leading this (e.g. paying for website hosting and DNS), I didn't have time to do significant contributions (the last issue I've been working on was Ant to Maven migration).

I welcome any contributions with open arms. A good example are recent improvements made by MarkEWaite in Jenkins plugin.

Please take my sincere apologies that your pull requests had to wait so long. It turned out that for some unknown reason I had notifications disabled for this repository (sic!) and as a result I wasn't aware of your contributions. I'll do my best to review and merge all of them asap.

There's a high chance that since September I will have time to spend one day per month for contributions. I hope this will help push the project a little forward.
