Use same workspace for multiple eclipse instances at same time

Question

I have two eclipse installed in my system. I want to run the two eclipse at same time and that should use the same workspace. But when I open the second eclipse instance it will prompt something like the workspace is in use. try different one . How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

Yes you can't open multiple instances of eclipse on a single workspace. But you can open multiple windows on a single workspace.

After first instance opened then click on Window > New Window option to open other eclipse window on the same workspace.
