RFR [jcov, unfilled]: jcov does not instrument files with NestHost/NestMembers attributes

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I've pushed these changes.

I had to apply an intermediate patch to build/build.properties to 
convert it from Windows newlines to Unix newlines, before the second 
patch would apply.
This was done with the following command:

sed --in-place -e 's/^M//' build/build.properties

In addition, I edited the changesets to include "Contributed-by: 
jan.lahoda at oracle.com"
