If the classes are generated from exactly the same source-code the coverage
should be right and hits will be added together.

I think so. But you have to use the same version of cobertura in all this
environments.
I'm not sure if it will work between jdk 1.5.x and 1.6.x.

I don't thing so. The hits are addressed by line number. If anything in the
source-code changes, the results will be corrupted.
