Cobertura-report generation with maven plugin

Question

I did instrumentation of code and war file successfully deployed into the tomcat container.

I am running my client tests on it.After successful run of the tests on it when I am shutting down my tomcat instance there is Cobertura.ser file in the bin directory of tomcat.

Cobertura.ser file contains all the details of code-coverage file.

Now,I wants to configure a maven task to generate Cobertura html report from .ser file.

I read the help guide of Cobertura-maven-plugin but I couldn't get properly.

(I am not running junit tests but I am performing selenium tests).

                                    </formats>
                                    <outputDirectory>C:\Users\satyam\report</outputDirectory> 
                                </configuration>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>                        
                    </plugin>

This is my maven configuration of Cobertura-plugin but this way maven is not generating report from Cobertura.ser file located in tomcat bin directory.
