Answer 1

I have a problem with the source.
The culprit is the <argLine> parameter in the tycho-surefire-plugin configuration.
If this parameter is present, the jacoco file is not generated. I deleted it and now the .exec file is created.
Additional information found in tycho-surefire argLine does not call jacaco.exec
