Hi,

I have not seen this asked before…

I am using eclipse 2.1.2 + myeclipse 2.7.2 on winxp.

I would like to try m6+3.7.2. Can I have a parallel installation on the same machine? I know two different eclipse versions can be installed on the same machine, but maybe myeclipse makes it harder?

TIA,

I have to 2 workspace and You can 2 or more installation eclipse
You call eclipse with -workspace btw

eclipse-2.1.2 -workspace workspace-2.1.2
eclipse-3.0 -workspace workspace-3.0

You can same workspace with compatible version eclispe, but You don’t execute 2 eclips ein same dir.

Definately, just make sure the two eclipse and MyEclipse installations leave eachother alone, a la:

C:\Java\Eclipse2.1.2
C:\Java\MyEclipse2.7

C:\Java\Eclipse3
C:\Java\MyEclipse3.7

So unzip botht he versions of Elcipse you want to use in differently named dirs. Then run the 2.7RC2 installer, and point to your 2.1.2 installation. Now run the 3.7RC2 installer and point to the 3.0M6 installation. You should be ready to go.

NOTE: After installing a fresh copy of Eclipse, be sure to run it atleast once so it can initialize before installing/running MyEclipse.

C:\Eclipse2
C:\Eclipse3
