Try this:

• Add a Maven-based project to Hudson.
• Make sure you have the Cobertura plugin installed.
• Go to the job configuration page for your project: http://hudson/job/my-project/configure
• Check the "Publish Cobertura Coverage Report" box.

Current result:

• For Cobertura/Hudson to find my coverage data I have to fill in "**/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml" in "Cobertura xml report pattern".

Expected result:

• Checking the box should have been enough for the plugin to locate my data, just like it is with the FindBugs plugin.
• If I wanted the plugin to look somewhere else for the coverage data, there should be an advanced option for that.
