We encourage you to contribute source code to the JCov project. In accordance with the OpenJDK project governance process, you can submit code to the project leader either as a user, a developer, or as a committer. If your code is accepted to be integrated into the source tree, you will be asked to sign a Contributor's Agreement similar to what Apache Software Foundation requires. For more information about the governance process and the various roles for members in the community, please review OpenJDK Governance.
What does the JCov2.0 tag mean in the JCov repository
JCov tool versions are typically aligned with JDK developments. Since JCov is used to evaluate code coverage data for the JDK development process, it is convenient for development tagging of feature sets in the JCov OpenJDK repo. Specifically, the JCov2.0 release is aligned with the release of JDK8.
What can we expect in next JCov version?
The next JCov milestone will be connected with JDK9. Specifically, this means that JCov will support changes in JDK infrastructure - as proposed for project Jigsaw (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/). Other future JCov directions include: more dynamic and interactive reports, coverage comparison reports, code coverage trending reports.
