Hi,
when you install Eclipse into a read-only place, Eclipse will create a very small ~/.eclipse installation in your home directory. I've seen this work personally before.
Ed Merks also mentions this behavior here: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1081315/
I am trying to reproduce this behaviour but having problems with it. I currently tried to copy the whole eclipse-folder with one user and then tried to run eclipse with another user. This second user could still create new files though, but not edit existing files. This method did not work though (Error reading configuration: mypath\eclipse\configuration\...\.fileTableLock)
How can I activate this "surrogate" mode in eclipse? Is there any documentation about what exactly triggers it? I was not able to find any documentation.
