Q: When using Clover from Ant, why do I get "Compiler Adapter 'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.CloverCompilerAdapter' can't be found." or similar?

You need to install Clover in Ant's classpath.

Depending on what version of Ant you are using, there are several options to do this. See Installation Options.
