where do you linux eclipse users put eclipse?
Personally, I would prefer to put one copy in a central location, such
as /opt/eclipse, and then have each user put their workspace in
/home/username/workspace
I am wondering if there are any downsides to doing this, or should each
user have their own copy of eclipse?

Take a look at this help page:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/misc/multi_user_installs.html
It explains some concepts and is a good starting point for further reading.
