Based on a previous question, where I asked about IDEs to support development in multiple languages, Eclipse and Eclipse-based IDEs were mentioned in some of the answers. If I were to use these tools, would there be conflicts between them, or can they run side by side smoothly? Is it also possible to run different Eclipse instances with seperate plugins installed in each one?
They can run side-by-side without any problems, at least in my experiences. I’ve run CodeWarrior and Eclipse together, and I’m running Eclipse and IBM ClearQuest Client open at the same time right now.
Each Eclipse-based application is a unique application, with its own settings, plugins, configuration files stored in its directory. You can install and configure them independently of each other without any problems, which includes plugins.
