Originally posted by: nugaee.SPAMtlen.pl

i have two plugins one switcher and second test. test plugins has two
versions. i need to switch between these versions. i managed to write
switcher chode (install first -> stop() 2. uninstalL() 2 install 1.0 a
start 1.0). it works only if there is test plugin install in the
location. in other cases when trying to use test plugin functionality it
throws CNFE.

any hints welcomed

Might be better posted on the eclipse.technology.equinox group instead.

You don't have to uninstall a bundle to install a new one with a different version. You don't even have to stop them if you don't want. However, whilst you have classes in a bundle that uses the test bundle, the classloader will remain with the (possibly stopped) bundle.

OSGi services allow you to get around this. There's an article at http://www.eclipsezone.com/articles/extensions-vs-services/ that you might like to read.
