Exclude methods from code coverage with Cobertura

Question

Is there a way to exclude code from inclusion into Cobertura coverage reports? We have some methods that should not be included in the coverage report and therefore not driv

Answer 1

Cobertura doesn't currently provide such a feature, and neither does Emma (which we use) although it is listed as a forthcoming enhancement - although in the form of an extension to the exclusion rules I believe rather than as an annotation.

Would be handy to cover off those few inaccessible corners cleanly so that you can strive for 100% without being ridiculous.

I think annotations would probably be a friendlier way to do it, but they ought to be fairly explicitly named and based on a list of acceptable scenarios as I fear otherwise something like '@ExcludeFromCoverage' would get added over generously.
