I use ubuntu 7.10 too.
The 32-bit java has the same version as yours
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
However I can start 2 copies of ide without any problem.
Since my ubuntu is 64-bit, I might have installed sun java32 using this command,
sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java6-bin

My guess is the problem is with the JRE version. One thing I
notice is that
your version says mixed mode, sharing. I haven't noticed
sharing before and
wonder what it means and if there is a version that doesn't
say share that
would in fact share better.
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. That
is, I would expect the same problem between ide and ide and
between app and
app. Please report on more tests if you can.
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. Can you confirm that
with several
attempts that starting app while ide is running 'always fails'.
After a number of attempts it has never worked (not quite the same as always
failing!).
I'm not going to mess with the release for this problem.
However it unfolds
will be dealt with down the road.
Fine.
