Hi,

as I'm new to the Java and NB world, time traveling from the distant VB6 world. I have a simple question. Would it be possible to install and run NB-7.0.1 (+ JDK1.6) and NB-29 (JDK25) simultaneously?

So why would I like to such a stupid thing? Well, I have a batch of VB6 applications I would like to convert over to Java and now it happens so that I found and old and since 10 years abandoned Java Swing (I think) project on GitHub (originally from Google Code) that was trying to achieve just that.

Far from perfect but still does a lot of heavy lifting when running the JAR file, but only loads in NB-7.0.1 but the current code loads with errors. Right now I run that NB-7 project in a VM but it's kinda clunky and slow.

So, is this doable, to install NB-7 and JDK-1.6 on my my main box alongside current NB-29 - without messing up things of course?

My goal is, if possible to recreate the project in either a NB Platform (which I think is closer to Swing) or JavaFX.
