experiences with Idea+Eclipse in parallel?
Hi world...
As a newcomer to IDEA I'm quite impressed by some features, but
others I think Eclipse still does better.
So... can anybody provide experiences of running IDEA and Eclipse
at the same time, meaning they run in the same working directory.
I could set up seperate workspace and always keep the sources
synchronized, but this is not that very efficient.
Apart from CPU/memory resources, do things collide or is it possible?
Cheers!

Just out of curiousity, what do you find that Eclipse does better?
there shouldn't be any problems
I used to run both simultaneously, never seen any problems
just don't forget some things:
do not add other's configuration files in project
do not share same output path
idea syncronizes and saves files automatically on idea's window activation/deactivation
in eclipse you have to hit F5 button
if you use svn -> you have to use same svn version
idea out-of-the box supports any svn version with on-the-fly switching between them
eclipse can sumultaneously work only with one version
P.S.
I heard in new Idea versions they can work with eclipse project configuration files
I've no idea what both of them will do if this file is changed outside durin running

yes, this still feels strange
Git here
I prefer the command line - I tend to distrust IDEs on version control -
e.g. the Eclipse Git plugin destroyed my server(!) repo early on :-/

I'm just learning so I may be missing a few things, but currently I'm
not happy that IDEA does file status only with different colors. My bad
eyes e.g. cannot distinguish easily between blue and black, I prefer
file decoration with a symbol signalling "changed" instead. The Changes
menu is not helpful as it needs space, decoration in the project tree is
IMHO better.
But then, maybe I'll ask a few things here which are probably supported
by IDEA but I'm too dumb to figure out ;)
