I use Eclipse for Java program development, and it works well. However, for some reason, the URI for Eclipse in the Task Manager Command Line display is
C:\Users\UserName\eclipse\java-latest-released\eclipse\eclipse.exe. I want to install a second copy of Eclipse in my Windows 8.1 system to try to get the Wolfram (Mathematica) Workbench to run, and I do not want to confuse it with the existing Java development setup. Please tell me how I can install a second copy of Eclipse.

When you install, the installation folder is displayed on the second page, e.g., C:\Users\<you>\eclipse\java-latest-released2 and that 2 (or N) is added to make sure you don't overwrite an existing installation. Of course you can install to any writable location and yes, you can create any number of installation; I have almost 40.
