You can also integrate the Cobertura plugin in the section of your webapp:

  
    ${project.build.directory}/site
    
      
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-project-info-reports-plugin
        2.7
        
          false
        
      
      
      
        org.codehaus.mojo
        cobertura-maven-plugin
        2.6
        
          
            true
          
          
            html
            xml
          
        
      
    
  

If you run mvn site, then your report will be available in target/site/cobertura/index.html within the target directory of your application.
