JaCoCo v0.8.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-01-03 // about 6 years ago
  • πŸ†• New Features

    • πŸ‘ JaCoCo now officially supports Java 9 (GitHub #600).
    • πŸ’» JaCoCo now comes with a simple command line interface (GitHub #525).
    • πŸ”§ Limit configuration of Maven check goal and Ant check element now also supports percentage values (GitHub #534).
    • Manifests of JAR files now have Automatic-Module-Name for Java 9 (GitHub #565).
    • Maven aggregated reports will now also include modules of runtime and provided dependencies (GitHub #498, #572).

    During creation of reports various compiler generated artifacts are filtered out, which otherwise require unnecessary and sometimes impossible tricks to not have partial or missed coverage:

    • Methods valueOf and values of enum types (GitHub #491).
    • Private empty no-argument constructors (GitHub #529).
    • πŸ‘ Methods annotated with @lombok.Generated to better integrate with Lombok >= 1.16.14. Initial analysis and contribution by RΓΌdiger zu Dohna (@t1) (GitHub #513).
    • πŸ‘ Methods annotated with @groovy.transform.Generated to better integrate with Groovy >= 2.5.0. Thanks to Andres Almiray (@aalmiray) for adding the annotation to Groovy (GitHub #610).
    • πŸ”€ Part of bytecode for synchronized blocks (GitHub #501).
    • Part of bytecode for try-with-resources statements (GitHub #500).
    • Part of bytecode for finally blocks (GitHub #604).
    • Part of bytecode for switch statements on java.lang.String values (GitHub #596).

    ⚑️ Note: Tools that directly read exec files and embed JaCoCo for this (such as SonarQube or Jenkins) will provide filtering functionality only after they updated to this version of JaCoCo.
