[Cobertura-devel] [stderr] Unable to get lock channel for /cobertura.ser.lock: cobertura.ser.lock (Permission denied)

[Rami V. <rv...@re...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use cobertura using ant task, I get only 0% coverage due 
to the following error which occurs when shuting down jvm for cobertura 
to flush changes into cobertura.ser:

01:32:24,187 ERROR [stderr] Unable to get lock channel for 
/cobertura.ser.lock: cobertura.ser.lock (Permission denied)

Could you please explain:

1. Why the lock file is created on / while the cobertura.ser is in 
/usr/share/blahblah (misconfiguration?), what defines the lock file location
2. Which process/component is trying to create that lock file?

Note that I found 2 old email threads regarding this issue but I 
couldn't understand how to solve that from the threads solutions.
