We are pleased to announce the Maven Clover Plugin 1.8 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/clover/

The Clover plugin allows measuring test coverage using Clover 
(http://www.cenqua.com/clover). 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added support for historical reports by adding a new 
  clover:save-historygoal that saves a Clover history point. The history 
  points are then used by clover:reportto generate history reports (including 
  a link on the Maven-generated website). 
o Add support for method, statement and block context filtering through the 
  following properties: maven.clover.context.block.names, 
  maven.clover.context.method.names, maven.clover.context.method.regexps, 
  maven.clover.context.statement.namesand 
  maven.clover.context.statement.regexps. 
o Added new clover:checkgoal that verifies if the test coverage if above a 
  threshold defined by the properties maven.clover.check.target, 
  maven.clover.check.packagesand maven.clover.check.targets. It fails the 
  build if it's below. 

  Changes:

o Updated to Clover 1.3.5 and applied new license that supports generating 
  history report (the previous one didn't support it). 
o Changed the location of the default license. It is now bundled in the 
  plugin and the plugin no longer downloads it from your remote repository. 
  As before if you wish to use your own license use the 
  maven.clover.license.pathproperty.  

===============================================================================
