Open JaCoCo report in Intellij IDEA

Question

I am trying to find dead code on our application by using a code coverage tool (rather a static code analysis tool). I have chosen JaCoCo and am able to get a report thanks

Answer 1

"intellij idea" seems to have no way of showing correct coverage value of jacoco report created. It is indeed misleading and unfair when it shows coverage as 0.0 instead of giving an unsupported format error.

However, as an alternative, we can push jacoco report (created as part of maven build) to the sonar(qube) server using maven-sonar-plugin's target, sonar:sonar

mvn clean install sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://:9000 -Dsonar.projectKey= -Dsonar.branch= -Dsonar.login= -Dsonar.password=

sonar.projectKey and sonar.branch properties value can be retrieved from corresponding project created in sonarqube.
