[GitHub] [netbeans] vcotugno opened a new issue, #4980: Multiple NetBeans instances at the same time
vcotugno opened a new issue, #4980:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4980
### Description
Hello NetBeans team,
first of all, thanks for all the effort you put into building this IDE.
I would like to ask for a feature that many modern IDEs have, multiple istances.
I think this feature is a must have nowadays, and could improve, at least in my use case, the productivity while coding
### Use case/motivation
At work i use to develop on different projects, and i don't like to have unrelated projects opened all together, and switching project groups is not a viable solution because it is too slow for big projects.
Because of this i would like to have a feature like this.
The screenshot attached is taken from the context menu of VSCode, as a further explanation of the kind of feature requested

It's useful for this. There's a bunch of other CLI parameters - try running `netbeans --help` in a terminal. You can also use `--jdkhome` and/or `--open-group <NAME>` in the parameters inside the shortcut.

Which OS are you on? This is more of a workaround, but you can set up multiple shortcuts (or similar) with the `--userdir` parameter set to non-default folders.

I'm on Windows11.
Didn't knew about the `--userdir` parameter, i will give it a try.

I think the best way to do that is to indeed setup one NB config per instance. Project groups and the ability to open multiple projects at once are the main way to work with switching contexts, if that is to slow for your use case you have to split the NB home which will allow you to run multiple independent instances at the same time.
firefox can do something similar with it's profiles.
