Basically a chicken and egg problem. Hudson runs build in which all tests pass but the clover coverage is not met.

This causes the build as a whole to be considered a failure. But the thing is when the build fails, then Hudson does not publish the clover report, even though clover.db is produced. How can I achieve code coverage if Hudson does not publish the clover report. As Homer Simpson would say DOH!.

An example is shown below:

Tests run: 16, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
