Does cobertura maven plugin don't work with java8 Default Method declaration in interfaces?

Question

I've declared my interface with java8 defult method declaration:

public interface MyInterface {

    default String myMethod(String str) {
        //IMPLEMENTATION
    }
}

Next, i executed maven goal:

mvn cobertura:cobertura

The log shows error because cobertura does not support java8 default method declaration:
