Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to enable the 'Code Coverage' functionality on a Maven
  project results in an infinite building loop.
  
  Problem:
  
  After selecting the 'Code Coverage' option on a Maven project
  configured in the product it enters an infinite building loop.
  To re-create this issue:
  
  1) Create a Maven project
  2) Right click on the project and select Properties.
  3) Select the 'Enable code coverage' option on the 'Code
  Coverage' property page.
  4) Select OK.
  
  As a result of doing this action the product starts to build the
  project and then continues to build the project in an infinite
  loop.
  
  Local fix:
  
  To work-around this issue go to the Project menu option and
  disable 'Build Automatically' prior to enabling Code Coverage.
  You can enable the 'Build Automatically' option again after you
  have closed the Properties page.
