I've got a project on a tight deadline that's currently in CodeWarrior 8 built with Constructor and SDK 4.1 and another that I need to start ASAP that requires SDK 5 and I'd like to use CodeWarrior 9 for it. I'm hesitant to upgrade my CW8 for fear of setting back the work on the first project while I migrate it. What are the migration requirements and gotchas? Also, is it possible to have both versions of CW installed on the same machine? (I'm guessing the answer to that is no, but perhaps someone can give me the definitive answer!)
Yes, it's possible to have both versions installed. I do. The only issue would be scripting -- scripts will use the last IDE registered unless one is already open. To register an IDE, you use the regservers.bat file in the IDE's bin folder.
As for migration... a V8 project should open and be usable in V9 without having to change anything except the access paths. To move from V9 to V8 (if you're using the Mac OS 68K Linker), just export your project to XML and import it into the V8 IDE.
