Jacoco Test coverage report shows 0%
I have to get the code coverage of a application while business test are executed from a different code base.
I use: Maven as my build Jbehave as my testing framework. The test are written in java.
My application is a set of war files deployed on tomcat.
The application code base is separate from test code base.
In getting the coverage I followed the below steps.
1 Compile the test code using maven.
2 Copy application classes from the place it was build (${app.code.dir}/target/classes) to ${test.code.dir}/target/classes
[3] Run the tests and jacoco report through maven
The mvn build: I have kept

When I execute mvn mvn install -Pcoverage
The execution goes as follows.

With this I get a coverage report generated with the application packages. But the coverage is shown as 0%
In the session link the application classes are not loaded. Screenshots:
Can some one help me here?
Answer
I was able to resolve this as follows
Copy the application classes in to a instrumentation folder.
Start the app server (tomcat in mycase) with Java arguments
-javaagent:$WORKSPACE/target/lib/jacoco-agent-0.6.3.2.jar=includes=*,destfile=$TOMCAT_HOME/jacoco-coverage.exec,append=false(I had the jacoco-agent jar copied in to my project at the layout)
Execute the tests (this can be automated or manual)
Stop the tomcat server (
jacoco-coverage.execis updated at this point)Execute ant report target. pointing the updated jacoco-coverage.exec and copied application class folder.
Thanks @jens-schauder for pointing me to post this as the answer.
