No. Netbeans and Forte for Java (which is built on Netbeans) do not make that assumption. You can install it on a networked directory and have several users run it at the same time; user preferences etc (such as which modules are installed etc) are stored in a file that is in the users own directory. You can run multiple instances of the IDE on a single machine too (or terminals to a single server such as SunRays), though there are currently a couple of things that users may need to set manually when it comes to sharing ports for processes such as when the IDE starts a web server to execute web apps. Most ports are changed automatically, but there are a few that aren't yet. I don't remember exactly now, but I think users may have explicitly to set the port number for the tomcat server to execute a web app. Ana
