How to install specific plugin in eclipse?


I want to install specific plugin of specific version in eclipse. Well, any version above a certain version (Ex: any version above 2.1.1)
Is it possible to achieve this in eclipse? Is there a way to do this from command line? Like using org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director plugin? Also, downloading this plugin should download all its dependencies.


Solution

  • Yes, see http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html for instructions. The -installIU parameter would just be the plug-in's ID and you will need to list the repository locations for all of its dependencies.
