Only one instance running at one time: prefered way to debug/test plugins?

Now that IDEA enforces that no 2 instances can run at the same time what is
the preferred way to debug a plug-in without shutting down IDEA?

I think you can run 2 instances if system (and config?) dirs are not shared.

You can try copying the bat file, modify the config/system parameters and
launch two sessions.

Yes I thought as much (BTW both config and system have to be different). I
am just curious about the official way ;)

663 seems to have something in that respect but I am not sure it will make
the location of config and system path in idea.bat settable from a wrapper
script (thru an env var)
(http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=6108). It only talks
about the installer.
There is another old request
http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=4920 that deals
specifically with being able to set the config/system path through an
environment variable

You're quite right. system and config directories should be different.
