New maven plugin parameter: additionalClasspathElements

[artspb]

It works the same as classPath command line option.

Why not just List<String>? This construction forces code that would like to use this method to explicit use ArrayList which is often considered as a code smell.

My bad. Fixed. Thank you for your note.

Hi @artspb - What's the use case for this? Why would you want to include classpath elements not defined as maven dependencies?

[artspb]

Hi @hcoles,
In our project we have some web module that contains Spring MCV unit tests. To reuse production xml context we need to extend test classpath with webapp directory. To perform this we use additionalClasspathElements property of maven-surefire-plugin. To get the same during mutation testing we need to have the same property of pitest-maven.
