Collaborative programming in Eclipse

Question

In Google Docs more than one person can be editing a file in real time. I tried this and found that the response time was a little slow. I would like to do the same thing in Eclipse. Is it possible? If not, then what are some good alternatives?

Answer 1

Saros is what you are looking for

Saros - Eclipse Distributed Collaborative Editing and Distributed Party Programming

Answer 2

You could try some form of Revision Control. Programmers don't normally edit the same copy of a document for various practical reasons.

Eclipse has an excellent SVN plug-in called Subclipse.
