Designer and Developer? Together in Eclipse?

[Glenn Boysko]

This may sound like a posting about something very surpring, but it is
really this question:

Can I have both Together Developer 2006 (for Eclipse) and Together Designer
2006 (for Eclipse) installed at the same time and using the same Eclipse
SDK?

I was successful installing Designer, but I realized that I wanted to create
diagrams from an existing Eclipse (Java) project. From what I read, it seems
that I need to install Developer, though Developer doesn't allow me to
create new UML 2.0 diagrams.

So, I tried to install Developer as well and now Eclipse fails with messages
of the form:

Could not install bundle
../Borland/Together/Developer2006/eclipse/plugins/com.tssap.selena.java.comm
ent/ Bundle "com.tssap.selena.java.comment" version "7.0.0" has already
been installed from:
update@../Borland/Together/Designer2006/eclipse/plugins/com.tssap.selena.jav
a.comment/

Obviously, it indicates that this specific bundle is already installed.

As a result, I don't have either Developer or Designer functionality. Has
anyone at Borland considered this? What is the solution?

Thanks,
Glenn

You can have both Designer and Developer installed into one Eclipse
installation (e.g. you can install Designer with bundled Eclipse, and then
install Developer pointing the installer to this eclipse installation). Then
you will be able to use either of the products, depending on what is being
launched - when Designer launcher is used, Designer featuires will be
available, etc. When using Eclipse launcher without -product option, then
randomly chosen Tg feature (com.borland.tg.primary.designer.feature or
com.borland.tg.primary.developer.feature) will be run. Passing -product
option to Eclipse would allow to specify what feature to launch.

One other thing to remember, is that eclipse's configuration information
(Eclipse\configuration) will need to be refreshed any time there are changes
to the plugins that Eclipse has loaded. If you are switching back and forth
between Designer/Developer, you may run into problems b/c different plugins
will be loaded for each, but the configuration info may not match which
plugins are loaded. To overcome this problem, you would have to start with
the "eclipse.exe -clean" switch to clean the configuration info each time
you switch products.
