Is there a good workflow recommendation for managing multiple versions of an xtext language plugin?

Ideally, I would have multiple different versions of my language feature installed in eclipse, choosing which version to run with when I load a workspace. Is that possible?

All of my language feature plugin repositories are local.

Thanks!

This is not possible. UI plugins have to be singletons, this you can only use one version per installation.
Per language version you need to have one Eclipse Version.
If you manage your installations with Oomph you can easily have one install per setup and manage all shared plugins in a bundle pool.

Ah, ok.

So eclipse plugin installations are managed per eclipse installation, even though my system has globally-shared eclipse-created directories?

e.g. on my system I have only single versions of:
~/.eclipse
~/.p2
~/Library/Preference/org.eclipse.eclipse.plist
~/Library/Preference/org.eclipse.eclipse.plist/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.installer.product

etc.


Multiple eclipse installations can run with different sets of plugins installed, all sharing these global files?

Thanks!
