Hi,

I am not able to get the page number from the Safari Edition
so not sure of the page number where this error occurs.

In Section
12.2. Running Cobertura from Ant

The sample from the build file needed to generate coverage report using Cobertura is as below :

<property name="coveragereport.dir" value="${build.dir}/reports/cobertura" />
...
<target name="cobertura.report" depends="instrument, test">
[...]

But the chapter doesn't define any targets by name "test". The relevant target in this scenario is "test.coverage".

So the above line should be :
<target name="cobertura.report" depends="instrument, test.coverage">

Thanks for the great book.

thanks and regards,
sateesh

the <batchtest> sample is missing the 'todir' attribute definition that it is supposed to illustrate:

<target name="test" ...
...
<batchtest>

should be replaced with:

<target name="test" ...
...
<batchtest todir="${reports.dir}">

"To do this, you provide webport and webport and jmxport command-line options, as follows:"

392 last paragraph, 393 code example

@BeforeClass and @AfterClass cannot be annotated on member methods. Doing so will lead to a runtime error.
They only can be used on static method.
See also
http://junit.sourceforge.net/javadoc_40/org/junit/BeforeClass.html
This also invalidates the example for what those methods can be used.

The URL to the Jupiter code review tool for Eclipse should be:
