I'm not sure I agree. That would be just like a debugger that cannot
debug a program but only parse a previously captured core. I'd say
it's not "unusable", but rather "mostly unusable" :)

But I would not spend too much energy on discussing the gravity of
that bug, it's not extremly important.

I would be more interested if someone could tell us some words about
the steps that should be done so that the jacoco agent becomes usable
from the package.  I have no knowledge of this soft, and cannot easily
answer that question myself.


Thanks for your time,
