I want to load multiple version of an plugin in eclipse run time.

I have tried it by changing the plug-in name,ID and version. However it always loads the latest one.

Can anybody help me?

You want to load multiple versions of a plugin ... and do what with them? What usecase are you trying to solve?

If the plugin is a singleton (anything with a plugin.xml, for example) you can only load one version.

If it is not a singleton, you need to 1) get the multiple bundles installed in your running app and visible to OSGi and then 2) somehow access them or start them, probably using OSGi services.
