On instrumenting with eclipse plugin with clover v 3.1.4 getting an additional .class file for each .class file

[Bageesh lal G B]

Hi,

I am trying to instrument my class files using eclipse and using 3.1.4 version.

On compilation I am getting an additional .class files for each .class file got instrumented having the same .class file name with some junk characters. All the files has same content as follows

Ex:

public class RemoveAttachments$__CLR3_1_4t0gt0gi38uxyzo
{
public static CoverageRecorder R;

static
{
CoverageRecorder _R = null;
try { CloverVersionInfo.An_old_version_of_clover_is_on_your_compilation_classpath___Please_remove___Required_version_is___3_1_4(); if (20120227103243583L != CloverVersionInfo.getBuildStamp()) { Clover.l("[CLOVER] WARNING: The Clover version used in instrumentation does not match the runtime version. You need to run instrumented classes against the same version of Clover that you instrumented with."); Clover.l("[CLOVER] WARNING: Instr=3.1.4#20120227103243583,Runtime=" + CloverVersionInfo.getReleaseNum() + "#" + CloverVersionInfo.getBuildStamp()); } R = Clover.getNullRecorder(); _R = Clover.getNullRecorder(); _R = Clover.getRecorder(new char[] { 'C', ':', '/', 'B', 'a', 'g', 'e', 'e', 's', 'h', '/', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'k', '/', 'P', 'e', 'r', 'f', 'o', 'r', 'c', 'e', '/', 'D', '2', 'D', 'e', 'v', '/', 'D', '2', '/', 'D', '2', 'F', 'S', '/', 'M', 'a', 'i', 'n', '_', 'M', '2', '/', 'D', '2', 'F', 'S', '4', 'D', 'C', 'T', 'M', '-', 'W', 'E', 'B', '/', '.', 'c', 'l', 'o', 'v', 'e', 'r', '/', 'c', 'o', 'v', 'e', 'r', 'a', 'g', 'e', '.', 'd', 'b' }, null, 1417621001508L, 1000L, 37609); } catch (SecurityException e) { System.err.println("[CLOVER] FATAL ERROR: Clover could not be initialised because it has insufficient security privileges. Please consult the Clover documentation on the security policy file changes required. (" + e.getClass() + ":" + e.getMessage() + ")"); } catch (NoClassDefFoundError e) { System.err.println("Your instrumented application could not find the Clover classes necessary to record coverage. Please use the 'Run with Clover' option to correct this. (" + e.getClass() + ":" + e.getMessage() + ")"); } catch (Throwable t) { System.err.println("[CLOVER] FATAL ERROR: Clover could not be initialised because of an unexpected error. (" + t.getClass() + ":" + t.getMessage() + ")"); } R = _R;
}
}

please let me know is it an expected behaviour or is there any thing I need to do to avoid this

Yes. This is an expected behaviour. For every top-level class declared in a source file Clover adds one static inner class containing a coverage recorder. Such class is named like "<base class name>$__CLR<clover version><some hash>". This is a reason why you can see about twice as much *.class files in a project compiled with Clover.
