Is it possible to a VM inside a VM (e.g., KVM on Vmware)?

Question

I have some java libraries I pretty much use in every project I create, and would very much like them to be added automatically or having them in some kind of global library. Is this possible using Eclipse?

Solution 1

Yo dawg.

Yes, you can, although it's a lot slower.

Solution 2

Yes - but it's a bad idea.

Also this question has been asked A LOT on this site before, when you typed your question into the dialogue box a lot of previous questions were listed in the, usually vain, attempt to get people to look at these before duplication the question again - can I ask that you look at these next time please.

Significantly slower, and sometimes just doesn't work at all.

@Tom O'Connor: I've had zero problems with kvm/xen under VMWare and I've used kvm extensively under VMWare. Do you have any links re the "just doesn't work at all." bit?

I've never published my findings WRT this. I could probably dig out some test cases if i had the time/inclination.
