I installed Sun Java Version 1.5 (using Synaptic package manager) as well as version 6. java version "1.5.0_13" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-b05, mixed mode, sharing) After updating the default Java version using: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun I was able to run multiple versions of the app and the IDE. When I switched back to version 6: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun The problem was again evident. > It would surprise me if the problem was particular between > app and ide.

Correct, I get the same/similar error trying to run two copies of the ide or two copies of the app. > Java does very complicated things during initialization > (multiple threads > etc) desperately tring to make apps start more quickly. > There have been > lots of timing race bugs in this area.
