I recently installed pitclipse plugin to test my unit tests in eclipse. Now I face the problem that pitclipse did not get any update since pitest 1.1.9 and I really want to use the latest version (currently 1.4.9).
I have tried several things: First I was updating the pom.properties and pom.xml in eclipse\features\org.pitest.pitclipse.feature_1.1.6.201607050705\META-INF\maven\org.pitest\org.pitest.pitclipse.feature folder.
This did not change anything.
Next i tried to update the jars org.pitest.osgi_1.1.9.jar, org.pitest.html-report-osgi_1.1.9.jar, org.pitest.command-line-osgi_1.1.9.jar in eclipse/plugins folder. To do so I downloaded the latest versions of those jars (except the osgi one, since mvnrepositiory does not have this. I replaced with normal pitest jar), replaced these files and renamed the new files to match the old file names.
This broke pitclipse, so I removed these changes again.
Did anyone face the same problem and got a work arround? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Pitclipse is actively maintained again so I invite you to install its latest version to benefit from a newer Pitest version. Pitclipse 2.0.0 embeds Pitest 1.4.6, watch PR #88 to know when Pitest 1.4.10 is supported.
To answer your question, as far I know there is currently now way to manually update the version of Pitest used by Pitclipse.
