Cobertura (Software Coverage Tool): How to display the form?

[zak100]

I want to use cobertura for coverage. I followed the following link:

 

https://electric-cloud.com/plugins/directory/p/cobertura/

 

That link provides a EC-Cobertura.jar file through download. I think it creates a parameter for passing arguments to cobertura. I am trying to run EC-Cobertura.jar but its giving me error:

:~/cobertura$ java -jar EC-Cobertura.jar

no main manifest attribute, in EC-Cobertura.jar

:~/cobertura$ sudo apt-get install binfmt-support

:~/cobertura$

 

 

I have already downloaded the cobertura and its installed on my ubuntu 18.04.

:~$ whereis cobertura-instrument

cobertura-instrument: /usr/bin/cobertura-instrument /usr/share/man/man1/cobertura-instrument.1.gz

:~$

 

And it has the same version as the tar file provides whose link is :

 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cobertura/

 

 provided in the link of the associated help button page:

Quote

 

:~$ cobertura-instrument -version

Cobertura 2.1.1 - GNU GPL License (NO WARRANTY) - See COPYRIGHT file

:~$

 

 

 

But the help file does not say anything about the jar file. I still don't know how to execute the jar file and how to display the form shown on the link:

 

http://downloads.electric-cloud.com/plugins/EC-Cobertura/EC-Cobertura_help.xhtml

 

 

Somebody please guide me how to display the form? What is the purpose of EC-Cobertura.jar in this connection.

Means there is no main class stated in the jar file. Have you aquired the software from a reliable official source? Is it supposed to be executed from command line?

For specific questions about Cobertura maybe you get the best and quickest answer from the Cobertura community?
