 Description  « Hide
Now I'm using 7.0M1b and trying to use the latest EAP releases but almost all of them have some critical problems which prevent me from using them 100% of my time. From time to time new EAP releases of IDEA modify caches in a way that if I run older version after running a new one, it reports strange error messages unless I delete its caches.

Would nice to have an option somewhere in the installer or elsewhere which allow me to specify place for settings or have a different default places for different builds of IDEA.

The caches are supposed to be rebuilt automatically when IDEA detects that they were created by an incompatible version (older or newer). Please attach examples of the "strange error messages".

For example, after such an upgrade it rebuilt only part of the project and then tried to run application. On another run, it reported that caches were broken and started to rebuild again.

If I see it, I will report here about it.
