I was wondering if it’s possible to run two projects at the same time in Eclipse, for example by using two different instances of JVM (if that makes any sense).
A bit of the background: I have a project that executes relatively long experiments (6-8h). I have recently managed to come to a point in development where I could branch off to develop different strategies for improving/adding code to the project. However at the same time I need to get some experiments done, and as the experiments take a long while to finish I’d like to make use of the long waiting time, and work on the branch code.
In short my ideal scenario is: start an experiment on the trunk in Eclipse, switch to the branch and develop code/run shorter experiments on the branch when I need to test functionality. Is this possible, or do I need to come up with an alternative strategy?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I have realized that the the word choice “test” was misleading as it could be misunderstood. I mean executing the program as it’s supposed to run, not testing with JUnit or anything like that. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I just check out different branches as different projects. MyProjectTrunk, MyProjectBranch1, MyProjectBranch2 etc. No problem. The projects will never run on on the same JVM if you’re using Run as Application.
