Hello,
the eclipse installation files usually are archived with path entries with
'eclipse' as root subdirectory.
Is it possible to install and run different Eclipse versions simultaneously?
If yes: How has an Eclipse version to be installed or modified for this
purpose?
And by the way (or as alternative to the option , mentioned above, running 2
Eclipse versions parallel):
How to upgrade Eclipse quickly, i. e. maintaining old preference and project
settings, without removing the old version and installing and reconfiguring
the new version?

Eclipse looks for things relative to the directory eclipse is started in.
You can have this anywhere in your file system. You just need to make sure
that you start Eclipse from the eclipse directory for the version you want
to run..
For example, you can have an eclipse3.5/eclipse directory with the 3.5
version and an eclipse3.6/eclipse directory with the 3.6 version.
