It has been a while since I have used Cobertura and it has come to my attention that it still doesn't support Java 7. I am told by the good people at Netbeans that JaCoCo is an alternative worth trying and so I will.
Update: To integrate JaCoCo into your maven project you might interested to know that Netbeans integration may not work if you don't add the argLine from JacCoCo agent to your surefire plugin. Your maven build config should look something like this. Note the specification of "jacocoArgLine" property name and the passage of it to surefire via the argLine config property.
