why does cobertura-maven plugin has to run all the test again ?

Today , while working i noticed that because of the cobertura plugin all our unit test in the application were running twice , once for the test phase and another one for the cobertura phase.


After some searching i found that the cobertura plugin has to instrument the byte code of the classes and hence needs to run them all over again to achieve that. Isn’t that frustrating , this means that the build time of our app suddenly doubles because we are using cobertura.


Its a known issue to the cobertura guys and is also raised as an issue with them http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOBERTURA-83  since last 4 years , huh.


The only solution we could find was not to run the cobertura tasks with the normal clean install , and run it when we pass some parameter to be true.


The only downside of this refactoring was that now people will have to run the mvn clean install -Druncobertura=true before committing to check if their test covers everything or not .

Fractals and Mandelbrot Set

While mathematics is in itself quite interesting and forms the basis of any modern day research, be it computational biology, machine learning or building complex structure, it can be quite a challenge to decide where to start.  That is why i decided to explore Fractals, thinking of it as a bridge between the nature and science. It brings in some really fascinating concepts which should be good enough for me as a gateway go deeper.  Fractals are in simple language never ending patterns which keep on repeating without an end, because fractals are never ending they have an infinite perimeter but finite area.  Since the patterns repeats indefinitely but if you draw a circle around the peremeter the area will remain finite.  It is like adding 1+0.1+0.01+0.001 and never making 2 This video explains the basic concept really well  Fractals are found everywhere nature in Trees, Rivers, Branching patterns, Hurricanes and Galaxies. It tries to bring order and understandin...

Las Vegas

January has been pretty exciting for me since last three years, It marks my annual ritual trip to Las Vegas, this is my third trip this year. Almost all of my trips have been because of work. Since Las Vegas has some of the biggest hotels[1] in the world it has become a natural choice for some of the biggest American companies to host their internal and external conferences. As an example, CES hosts some 200,000 people every year [2]. This year I started my 30-hour flight journey, yes you heard it right I had a 9-hour layover at the London airport. Though it was far from ideal it was not that bad. If you can arrange priority pass [3] card from your credit card company or pay for it. Then you can use the lounge, showers and much more for free. I manage to steal the below picture from a hoarding at the airport.  Then after much rest and time pass at the airport terminal, I boarded my next flight to Las Vegas. When I landed McCarran International Airport, the first surprise for me was the...
