I wanted to run cobertura on some code I've got that's in the middle of a text-processing pipeline. Unfortunately, upon completion of running the instrumented code, cobertura puts some text on stdout, which broke my pipeline.
The accompanying patch makes stdout output controllable by a boolean system property. It defaults to 'true' to emulate current behavior. (I set it to false in my wrapper script to turn it off for my application)
