Question

I m trying to evaluate a number of IDEs like Eclipse, intelliJ, Aptana, etc. to see which one suits my needs. My question is should I expect any problems from installing several IDEs on the same computer? I know that some IDEs are based on others (Aptana is eclipse-based) but intelliJ isn t), so would there be any problem installing both Aptana and Eclipse for example? Do you have more than a single IDE running together without problems? which ones?

Answer 1

I ve had both Eclipse and Aptana installed on the same machine with no problems. I ve got Eclipse and NetBeans on this machine now, and I know that they don t interfere with one another in the slightest.

I ve also had different versions of the same IDE (NetBeans) installed on one machine, with the different versions installed in different directories, and even that didn t cause any problems. You can even point them at the same project folders if you want.

Answer 2

I really doubt it s going to cause any problems.

Answer 3

If you re going to be installing many version of the same basic IDE (Eclipse and Aptana for example) I would try to keep them both at the newest version of each just in case libraries are being shared.

Hope this helps some.

Answer 4

You can install as many IDE as you need it won t create any particular issue.

The only possible issue if you are using some network debugging(php debuggine for instance) they can battle for accessing the TCP port but that s not an issue.

Answer 5

My school computers have Eclipse, Netbeans, Anjuta, Kdevelop and several other obscure IDEs and they work fine.
