Assuming the maintainers are comfortable with the changes, when can I reasonably expect an official release version of the
plugin which contains my changes submitted with MCOBERTURA-114?
Background:
It is occasionally useful to measure the code coverage for manual and/or automated tests which run against a test environment.
(Not to be confused with measuring code coverage of unit tests executed automatically by the build system.)
For example, you may have a set of automated regression tests written using JMeter, Selenium, etc. which
for some reason or another are not appropriate to run as part of the maven build.
To this end I have created a patch which greatly enhances the documentation needed to guide a user for this use case. I have
also extended the instrument goal to support registering a module's cobertura.ser file as an attached artifact. This turns
out to significantly clean up the child modules of a multi-module project, which would otherwise be cluttered with
build-helper plugin configuration details.
For more details, I recommend you read the PDF attached to MCOBERTURA-114 which shows the html rendered version of the
enhanced documentation.
I have also included some scans of hand-drawn diagrams I drew to complement the text.
The documentation text in the patch does not currently link to or otherwise include the hand-drawn diagrams. I created
the hand-drawn diagrams for use inside my company after I had finished creating the patch.
