Using Clover with JAXB plugin

Steps

Add maven-clover2-plugin to <build> section

set the includesAllSourceRoots property to true (default is false) if you're interested in code coverage for JAXB generated sources
bind the clover2:setup goal to process-sources phase (so that it's executed after sources generation)
bind the clover2:clover goal to verify or install phase (so that report is generated after test execution)

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-clover2-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${clover.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <!-- Instrument all source files, also generated by JAXB. Set to false if
        you're not interested in such details (default is false) -->
        <includesAllSourceRoots>true</includesAllSourceRoots>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <!-- Call the clover2:setup after JAXB sources are generated but before compilation -->
            <id>main1</id>
            <phase>process-sources</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>setup</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <!-- Call the clover2:clover and generate report after tests are run -->
            <id>main2</id>
            <phase>verify</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>clover</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Add jaxb-api plugin to <dependencies> section

this is required to run unit tests

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
        <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Add maven-jaxb2-plugin to <build> section

you might need to add jaxb-xjc and jaxb-impl as plugin's dependencies (see Troubleshooting chapter)
you can use extensions like property-listener-injector

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <extension>true</extension>
                <schemaLanguage>DTD</schemaLanguage>
                <schemaIncludes>
                    <schemaInclude>*.dtd</schemaInclude>
                </schemaIncludes>
                <bindingIncludes>
                    <bindingInclude>*.jaxb</bindingInclude>
                </bindingIncludes>
                <args>
                    <arg>-Xinject-listener-code</arg>
                </args>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId>
            <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
            <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2-commons</groupId>
            <artifactId>property-listener-injector</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

Sample project

Checkout code from Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/maven-clover2-plugin
Go to src/it/jaxb
Run mvn clean install
Generated report will be available in target/site/clover directory

Troubleshooting

Problem: Class not found - javax.activation.DataHandler with an error message like below:

[INFO] [jaxb2:generate {execution: default}]
[FATAL ERROR] org.jvnet.mjiip.v_2.XJC2Mojo#execute() caused a linkage error (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError) and may be
out-of-date. Check the realms:
[...]
[ERROR] FATAL ERROR

[...]

Solution: Define com.sun.xml.bind::jaxb-xjc and com.sun.xml.bind::jaxb-impl as <dependencies> for maven-jaxb2-plugin as in example chapter above.

Problem: When using the Clover Plugin together with the the JAXB2 Plugin, the build fails during instrumentation due to an unresolved clover.jar with an error message like below:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution: Define a dependency to com.cenqua.clover::clover in your POM, for example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.cenqua.clover</groupId>
    <artifactId>clover</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.5</version>
</dependency>
