Herabouts there's a move to have team members working from home.
Occasionally we would like to pair.
This is now difficult.
Any way of doing it in IntelliJ?
We're using versions 7 and 8, but if a solution for v9 appeared it would be good prompt to get mgt to upgrade us all.
The question is a bit like this question, but for IntelliJ users instead.
And also similar to another question of mine here which relates to mixed environments.
For simple working from home, I can start a vncserver session on my box at work, then start vncviewer to connect to that session, start up all my design tools (including IntelliJ). When I get to work, I connect to the corporate network and run a second instance of vncviewer. I'm not sure what the limits are, but I've had vncviewer running on both my laptop and my (work) desktop before, with the input from both keyboards and mice fighting it out. I've never done pair programming, but I thought the idea is two sets of eyes/fingers but on monitor/keyboard. Add skype and you may have all you need.
