Install and running older and newer version of NB in parallel

Hi,

as I'm new to the Java and NB world, time traveling from the distant VB6 
world.  I have a simple question. Would it be possible to install and 
run NB-7.0.1 (+ JDK1.6) and NB-29 (JDK25) simultaneously?

So why would I like to such a stupid thing? Well, I have a batch of VB6 
applications I would like to convert over to Java and now it happens so 
that I found and old and since 10 years abandoned Java Swing (I think) 
project on GitHub (originally from Google Code) that was trying to 
achieve just that.

Far from perfect but still does a lot of heavy lifting when running the 
JAR file, but only loads in NB-7.0.1 but the current code loads with 
errors. Right now I run that NB-7 project in a VM but it's kinda clunky 
and slow.

So, is this doable, to install NB-7 and JDK-1.6 on my my main box 
alongside current NB-29 - without messing up things of course?

My goal is, if possible to recreate the project in either a NB Platform 
(which I think is closer to Swing) or JavaFX.
