Hi,
For plugin projects,is it possible to change the eclipse version, to higher or lower, such as 3.5 to 3.6 or 3.6 to 3.4 in the target platform. Or it is necessary to create a new such plugin.

If possible, how can it be done. What are the changes required such as changing the dependent versions of plugins.

If any changed required in the written code, i think that can be done.

Thanks
Sajja

Not sure what you mean. Eclipse doesn't technically have a version, as each bundle has it's own OSGi version and a specific version is added to our annual release train (Galileo, Indigo, etc). PDE uses the version of the org.eclipse.osgi bundle (OSGi system bundle).

You can't change the version of an existing Eclipse install. However, if you want to change the target you are developing against, the target platform preference page will allow you to do that. You can point your target platform at a install that you have downloaded.
