Measure integration test coverage?

[dfabulich]

SUREFIRE-50 says that we need to create "comprehensive tests."  That's a
good goal, but there's no way to know if we did it or not unless we
measure coverage, so I filed SUREFIRE-393: "Measure test coverage for
surefire, including ITs"

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-393

Does anybody have a good suggestion as to how to do that?  Will one of the
standard Maven coverage tools do what I want?  Brett at one point
recommended EclEmma, but I don't think it will record test coverage from
out-of-proc tests, will it?

Cobertura is another open source tool for test coverage.

I'm open to suggestions as to how I'd use it in this case to measure the
coverage of Surefire ITs... :-)
