We use Emma code coverage tool in our organization.
Though this open source tool covers most of our requirements,

I suggest you check for some of the following features in your evaluation tool :

1. If Ant task is supported, ensure that there is a task which would break the build if the statictics are below the expected value.

2. Better summary page: We run this tool to know and identify the classes with less coverage. If you run into 1000 of files spread across multiple packages, it's a pain to go through each and every package and check for the coverage data. If your tool provides a summary page which list all the
classes which are falling below expected value, it makes things much easier...

i quite like Clover. it offers your wanted features.

if you use it for non commercial purposes it is free.

Thanks guys.

Vijay,
Does EMMA support the features that you listed ?

manuel,
Thanks. If the clover is used for my daily builds does it become commercial use?

Unfortunately ... NO...

The core requirements for most projects can probably be picked from the following list:

Ant integration

Maven integration

Reporting (global statistics, per-package statistics, per-class statistics, per-line coverage highlighting, etc.)

IDE integration

Thanks. Can you recommens some open source tools ?

Cobertura and EMMA are the most popular, according to my perspective of the world.

Thanks
