How are you including Cobertura in the classpath? Does net/sourceforge/cobertura/coveragedata/HasBeenInstrumented.class exist in the JAR file that you're including in the classpath? – Materiality

Answer 1

You should add cobetura.jar to Bootstrap Classes with -Xbootclasspath. More info: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/findingclasses.html This needs to be done in order to load the cobetura classes, which are needed in order to load your app classes.

Answer 2

I have been able to get rid of this problem by running a late package goal, as it re-compiles and re-packages de code without Cobertura.

The goals I use are:

clean site package
