How can I change URI of a Git (jgit)

Question

I am developing an Eclipse plugin which users can log in through this plugin and use some git repositories (through ssh and with user/password credentials) which are accessed behind the curtains. Users do not know their ssh passwords.

These users have read only access to a git repository. When one of the users logs in on a computer for the first time, the git is pulled on to the local machine. There is no problem so far. When user logs out, for the efficiency I want to keep this local copy on this machine. And my problem starts at this point.

When another user logs in, I retrieve the git object from the local copy and unfortunately (for me), it includes the URI which is set for the first user.

Is there a way to set the URI of a org.eclipse.jgit.api.Git object.

I try the following code with no success. Setting URI thii way throws org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.InvalidConfigurationException: No value for key remote

This code (without setting URI) works as expected for the same user. And it updates the local copy from remote.

Git git = Git.open(new File("PATH" + "/.git"));

git.pull()
  .setTransportConfigCallback(new TransportConfigCallback() {
    @Override
    public void configure( Transport transport ) {
      if( transport instanceof SshTransport ) {
        SshTransport sshTransport = ( SshTransport )transport;
        sshTransport.setSshSessionFactory(new JschConfigSessionFactory() {
          @Override
          protected void configure(Host hc, Session session) {
            Properties config = new Properties();
            config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
            session.setConfig(config);
            session.setPassword("password");
          }
        });
      }
    }
  })
  .setRemote(remoteURI)
  .call();

Well, a Git repository doesn't just have "a URI" (assuming you don't mean the URI of your copy of the main repository); it can have multiple "remotes". — user253751, Feb 16 '15 at 22:47
When I say URI I am referring something in the form of ssh://@:/project.git Then you say I need to remove old URI and add a new one? By the way two URI is exactly same except the part — Nuri Tasdemir, Feb 16 '15 at 23:10
first: how would you do it from the Git command line? Second, try to find a way to do that in Java. — user253751, Feb 16 '15 at 23:13
Something like this? git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here — Nuri Tasdemir, Feb 16 '15 at 23:46
Looks like jgit does not have a "git remote" command. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27225273/does-jgit-api-have-all-git-commands — Nuri Tasdemir, Feb 17 '15 at 00:07
