Changing the IDE for your VP IDE Integration

Visual Paradigm not just can run as a standalone modeling software, but also can embedded into your favorite IDE via Visual Paradigm IDE Integration, including Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio as well as Microsoft Visual Studio. You may need to upgrade your IDE from time to time when it got new release, but sometimes you might not want to directly upgrade your IDE software but prefer to have a clean start with the new version by reinstall it. In this article you will learn how to change your existing VP IDE Integration to your new IDE.

You can remove your existing integration by execute the uninstall_xx_integration executable under the uninstaller folder of VP installation directory (the xx is the short name of your IDE, ec = Eclipse, nb = NetBeans, ij = IntelliJ IDEA / Android Studio, and vs = Visual Studio).
