Hello,
Is it possible to have multiple working branches in the
IDE? If so, what version would have it?
Thanks,
Tom

There are a couple of ways to go about it.
A) You can have the same code base in different Eclipse projects, and
they can be different branches. The project names, of course, must be
unique. I've set it up before with multiple projects like
"ProjectA-trunk" and "ProjectA-branchX". You just have to make sure you
manage the dependencies carefully and launch configurations refer to the
correct project(s).
B) You can set up multiple workspaces for different branches. This tends
to work a little better, the only limitation is that you don't have both
versions of the code in the same workspace (handy for comparing files
against each other). It is really not much of a limitation, IME, and can
be at least partially alleviated by running two copies of Eclipse
simultaneously, each pointing at a different workspace.
Hope this helps,
Eric
