Cobetura and Java 8

[FriederikeHanssen]

Cobetura has trouble with lambda expressions in java 8 (cobertura/cobertura#176). One work around could be to use the jacoco plugin, IF it works with travis.

E.g.:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId> <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.8.2</version> <executions> <execution> <id>jacoco-initialize</id> <goals> <goal>prepare-agent</goal> </goals> </execution> <execution> <id>jacoco-report</id> <phase>site</phase> <goals> <goal>report</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
The report is then added to the site package and can be displayed with target/site/index.html
<reporting> ... <!--report code Coverage with Jacoco --> <plugin> <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId> <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId> <reportSets> <reportSet> <reports> <!-- select non-aggregate reports --> <report>report</report> </reports> </reportSet> </reportSets> </plugin> ... </reporting>

According to cobertura/cobertura#176 this has been solved now by updating the cobertura version. Can anyone confirm this?

We're still having issues with Cobertura and as far as I can see there hasn't been a release since the fix has been merged.

We decided to remove Cobertura and go with Jacoco. Solved by 39a4fce.
