addScalacArgs option breaks scoverage

[ashokaupadhya]

I have following configuration for scala maven plugin. Adding "addScalacArgs" doesn't generate coverage info. I see "Skipping SCoverage report generation" in the log but if i remove "addScalacArgs" reports are generated.

scala version 2.11.12

   </configuration>
</plugin>

Any updates on this? We are facing the same issue addScalacArgs is skipping scoverage generation

[vivekaradshan]

I tried passing in the below format. It resolved the issue
<configuration>
<args>
<arg>-target:jvm-1.8</arg>
</args>
</configuration>

README specifies this limitation here
Also, scala-maven-plugin doc also states that addScalacArgcan't be used from pom.
Please send a PR if you think the doc can be improved. Thanks.
