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.

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.

It would be better to add some simple example to your answer. – Aleksandr M May 29 '14 at 08:53

Here is what that helped me: proc=subprocess.Popen([eclipse_exe_location,'-application', 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director', '-repository', repository, '-installIU', 'pluginName']). Thanks! – Destructor May 29 '14 at 10:18
