Hello,
I'm running eclipse installations on same configuration parallel and
didn't have problems so far. Occasionally I have problems with restoring
the layout, when I update one of the eclipse installations without
shutting the other one down but besides that I didn't have a problem so
far.

wins. So, I dont think its advisable to do this.

I do it all of the time. I have over 10 different workspaces all on the
same configuration. The only caveat as mentioned earlier is if you do a
configuration change (i.e. install/uninstall something) when having more
than one workspace actually open can cause some blips until things are
caught up. So don't do changes while any workspaces are open, or have
only one workspace open when using the update manager.

Running multiple instances on the same configuration is supported. When
state in the configuration directory is changed, a new file is written
rather than modifying the old one (such as .state.1, .state.2, etc).
This allows other instances to continue operating against the older
state files while an instance is updating configuration state. So, it
should work. If you encounter problems when running multiple instances
on the same configuration, a bug report should be entered.
Note: it is possible for an arbitrary plugin to call
Platform.getConfigurationLocation and start blindly writing files there.
If the plugin did not use mechanisms to protect against concurrent
writes, that plugin would break when running multiple instances
concurrently, but it should not affect the platform itself.

File > Switch Workspace... and choose a new location. Eclipse will
create a new workspace in the location you choose. You'll want to
export your preferences from the current workspace so you can import
them into the new one.
Hope this helps,

File --> Export --> General --> Common Preferences in the old workspace
File --> Import --> General --> Common Preferences in the new workspace
EDIT: Sorry, I read you message too quickly. If you want to sync .settings dir with Dropbox, your best choice is probably to move it to Dropbox and create file system level soft links to it from every project using it. However, .settings folder is meant to be one per configuration, so you want to make sure that you do not edit it in several places simultaenously. That is, if you really meant "eclipse/configuration/.settings" folder when asking you question.
