Issue
I'm just going to start this off with the links I have already checked:
Jacoco: IllegalStateException: Can't add different class with same name
jacoco : Cannot exclude classes
JaCoCo test coverage: How to exclude a class inside jar from report?
JaCoCo Can't add different class with same name: org/hamcrest/BaseDescription
These are just the SO questions I have checked, not to mention all the GitHub posts too..
I have spent 2 full days now trying to find the solution for my problem, but I have yet to find anything that works.
So the story goes like this:
- NetBeans project for automation testing
- The company I work for has a jar file
- I used below command to include this jar file in my project:
mvn install:install-file -
Dfile=C:\MavenSelenium\Automation_Framework\src\main\resources\Dependencies\java-api-1.0-jar-with-
dependencies.jar -DgroupId=this.jar.file -DartifactId=api-bundle -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
- Added the dependency to the pom.xml file
<dependency>
<groupId>this.jar.file</groupId>
<artifactId>api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
- Open CMD, go to the location of the NetBeans project
- Execute the following maven command (Or Clean and Build Project in NetBeans):
mvn clean verify
- Everything goes fine, EXCEPT when JaCoCo tries to generate the report. Below is the error log:

You'll notice I have an exclusion by the actual dependency jar for the company I work for:
<!-- Company Jar (API) -->
<dependency>
<groupId>this.jar.file</groupId>
<artifactId>api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion> <!-- declare the exclusion here -->

<artifactId>api-bundle</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
as well as by the JaCoCo plugin section
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.6</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>

neither works (at least that I can tell).
I honestly don't understand the half of the "technical talk" that I read and I am sure with more reading throughout my time of investigating all of this, I will begin to understand it BUT I cannot wait until I magically figure it out, so I am hoping someone can assist.
It's the first time I have setup a project like this, so admittedly there's plenty for me to still learn.
Solution
Okay, so I believe I found the cause for my issue..
As far as I can tell, it was due to the way in which I added/stored the external JAR file for my company.
The JAR file was in my project folder:
C:\MavenSelenium\Automation_Framework\src\main\resources\Dependencies\java-api-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
I removed the file from this location AND I deleted it from my list of actual dependencies.
I then tried to use the initial command from before, but with the file now in my downloads folder:
mvn install:install-file -
Dfile=C:\Users\{username}\Downloads\java-api-1.0-jar-with-
dependencies.jar -DgroupId=this.jar.file -DartifactId=api-bundle -Dversion=1.0 -
Dpackaging=jar
However, I did not see it appear under my dependencies.
THEN, I right clicked on my dependencies folder (the one that is defaultly created with the maven project) and I clicked "Add Dependency" as below:
After I did this, I saw the dependency added under dependencies AND I saw the pom.xml updated with the addition of this dependency as well.
Code added to pom.xml automatically:
<!-- API -->
<dependency>
<groupId>this.jar.file</groupId>
<artifactId>api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
