Question

I discovered generating aggregate reports in multi-module projects only works if the maven aggregator pom project is also the parent project for sub modules. This really does not work for a lot enterprise level projects in which maven aggregator is not always the parent.

Really appreciate any suggestions!

Solution

Cobertura is an inactive project. Check out JaCoCo as a viable replacement, and it supports aggregate.

But if the issue is related to the NPE you get, check out this: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOBERTURA-151. We're using 2.5.1 of that plugin w/ that patch applied and it allows us to build using aggregate, but the output isn't really aggregate.
