[eclipse-dev] Test coverage

["Sven Van Sighem" <sven_at_work@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm looking into a test coverage tool called Clover. It can integrate into a
project 
via ant targets. The way it works is by "annotating" class files so that
they send
data to a database. This way the tool can analyse how many and which lines
were tested. For this to work it needs to "bootstrap" itself to the build
process.

I would like to use this on Eclipse with the automated tests. I compiled the
code
with annotations, but I'm unable to run the test suite. This is because the
clover.jar
file is not on the classpath and therefor Eclipse does not find the
necessary classes.

I added clover.jar to the classpath in runtest.bat, which actually seems to
pass this
through to the startup classes in start.jar (i get coverage reports for
this), but furtheron
it seems to lose this setting.

This is the error log that's generated

Can anyone help me out on how to get this jar in the classpath for the
tests?

Greatings,
