Hi,

Since I cannot have 2 projects with the same name (e.g org.eclipse.myPlugin) how can I manage 2 different versions of a plugin in my workspace ? any convention ?

Assuming that it is valid to have both bundles activated in the OSGi state at the same time (different versions and non-singleton bundles), you can simply rename the project to include the version.

PDE uses the symbolic name in the Manifest.MF, not the project name to create its models.
