I use Eclipse for everything. Python, Django, GWT, Android… But when you install all the plugins, Eclipse becomes very slow.
Is there a way that I can set it up so that there are two or more icons for Eclipse in the Applications directory, each for specific task?
Thanks
Developing in Eclipse for the past few years, I’ve found it’s just easier to have several copies of the Eclipse directory, one for each kind of development I do (Android, java app, Grails). It’s sometimes cumbersome installing new versions of Eclipse or new versions of the common plugins (Subclipse, etc), but it does make Eclipse start-up MUCH faster.
Simply create another install directory for Eclipse, with another shortcut to it, and only install the plugins you need for that dev environment. I use a different workspace for each one, though I’m not sure that’s necessary, as long as you’re using the same version of Eclipse for each install.
