Hi all,

Is there any posibility to unload currently loaded plugin and load the same
plugin with different version (both available in plugins folder).

10x in advance,
Stoil

Hi,

Help >> SoftwareUpdates >> manage configuration

Select the plugin and click on the *Replace with another version* link
in the right panel.

Is there way to do this from within plugin depending on another plugin with
multiple versions?

I do not fully understand the question, but you can explicitly say in
your manifest.mf that you depend on a specific version of a plugin (the
properties.. button in the dependency tab).
And another plugin can depend on an other version of the same plugin,
there can be two version of the same plugin active at the same time.

I think Valere mentioned that if you manage at the feature level, you
can disable and then enable different versions of a feature and that
will unload and load different plugins. Take a look at
org.eclipse.update.standalone.EnableCommand and DisableCommand to
understand the programmatic interface that would work.

At a lower level, you can use the OSGi PackageAdmin service and the
BundleContext to dynamically load and unload plugins.

Later,
PW

I meant replace loaded plugin during runtime. I suppose post of Paul Webster
is what I need.
