Answer 1

Did you try to add this to your pom.xml in the reporting section?

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
       <formats>
           <format>html</format>
           <format>xml</format>
       </formats>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Complete configuration steps can be found here.

Answer 2

Cobertura doesn't actually seem to work with hudson.

I have a project where executing the command line: mvn clean package

Builds a coverage report generates an accurate coverage report with an average coverage of about 78% line and 74% branch.

Running the same goals on a Hudson server results in a coverage report showing 0% 0%.

Unfortunately the Jira site for the plugin doesn't seem to allow anyone to post issues so this issue is as yet unreported to the team.

To run Cobertura during package phase, do

 <plugin>  
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>  
            <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>  
            <version>2.5.2</version>  
            <configuration>  
                <formats>  
                    <format>xml</format>  
                </formats>  
            </configuration>  
            <executions>  
                <execution>  
                    <phase>package</phase>  
                    <goals>  
                        <goal>cobertura</goal>  
                    </goals>  
                </execution>  
            </executions>  
   </plugin>

Hudson needs a you to generate the coverage.xml file. To do this without changing your pom.xml, you can use:

mvn cobertura:cobertura -Dcobertura.report.format=xml
