eCobertura not working correctly in Eclipse

Question

So I'm trying to test out my coverage for a Java Application in Eclipse. I installed eCobertura from the "Install new Software" dialog and successfully installed. But when eclipse starts up it throws me this error, and I get another Initialization error when I run any tests. Here are the stack traces: the first is the startup error, the second is spit at me when I try and run a test. Any help on this would be great!

Answer 1

Cobertura does not work with JDK 7 yet. Please refer to my post on Stackoverflow Testng, Emma, Cobertura, coverage and JDK 7 result in ClassFormatError and VerifyError.

Answer 2

Right click on your test class, then "Cover As -> Coverage configurations..." go to Arguments tab and in VM arguments add
