Principle: Attach a Jacoco agent to a JVM when it starts -> The results file (.exec) is created when the JVM terminates
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.5.5.201112152213</version>
--> define where the jacoco reports are output
<configuration>
<destFile>${basedir}/target/coverage-reports/jacoco-unit.exec</destFile>
<dataFile>${basedir}/target/coverage-reports/jacoco-unit.exec</dataFile>
</configuration>
<executions>
--> make the agent run before the tests are run
<execution>
<id>jacoco-initialize</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
--> make sure that the jacoco report task is run when package is executed
<execution>
<id>jacoco-site</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
