Running the Cobertura Ant task

This section will explain how to configure the Cobertura Ant task in your project.

The following are the steps for configuration:

3. Create a build.properties file under Chapter05\Chapter05 and enter the following information:

   src.dir=src/main/java
   test.dir=src/test/java

   reports.html.dir=${reports.dir}/junit-html
   coverage.xml.dir=${reports.dir}/cobertura-xml
   coverage.summaryxml.dir...
