I needed to have a quick glance at code from another project , so I opened another instance of my eclipse . For every file i’d open and save it would complain that two My Eclipses are running , telling me my IP just got reported to My Eclipse . It would also give me the ip : 192.168.0.100 😆
1) are we not supposed to ever have 2 instances running on the same computer
2) will I have problems with my subscription account if I keep on dooing this ?Thankns
Zapa,
Before answering your other questions – why do you need to open another instance of eclipse to look at code from your other project?
Did you start it with another workspace or what exacty? You could always import that project into your current workspace and check it out within the same eclipse instance.If you give us more details we’ll be able to get you doing things the “right” way 😉
Best,
Brian.yes , I am now importing projects from other workspaces .
before i was simply lazy and found pressing the myEclipse icon easyer to do … then i found it odd that it would be complaining and threatening under such circumstances .
MyEclipse tracks the number of instances running but there was a bug in build prior to 4.0.3 where it didn’t recognize when one was shut down. To work around the problem in prior builds, once you’ve received the message about “too many instances” you have to shutdown all instances of MyEclipse to reset. Updating to 4.0.3 should be a lot better, but you’re still limited to two simultaneous instances on one machine, but it should avoid the problem you’re seeing with a simple startup / shutdown of another instance.
