Need help resolving Clover issue.

Question

Hey Guys,

Forgive me if the question is too vague. I am not a clover expert but i need this issue resolved. Clover seem to be having issues with a particular class as show in the trace below. I need to exclude this class entirely from the clovers part cause the class isnt all that necessary. Is this even a clover issue or just a java issue? thanks again and sorry if this just trivial.

Yes you can exclude classes on package level from the ant tasks.

Example

<clover-setup enabled="${enable}">
     <files>
       <exclude name="**/cenqua/clover/**/*.java"/>
     </files>
</clover-setup>
