Is there a way to use IntelliJ when pair-programming? It would be nice to have the option in v7 and v8 but I would upgrade to v9 if needed.
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.
A good alternative to VNC is screenhero. It's very lightweight, but unfortunately does not support Linux.
Floobits creates a pairing session at the IDE level. It supports many popular IDEs from IntelliJ, Eclipse, to emacs.
