JMC 5657 - Code Coverage

[Klara Ward]

Hi Carmine,

The potential move from jacoco to jcov was suggested when JMC was not 
open source, and depending more on inhouse Oracle infrastructure.

When we moved from the old build infrastructure to open source and 
Maven, we never added jacoco,
so I would suggest changing the jira issue to add jacoco now instead.

Regards,
Klara, former JMC engineer
