This assumes you have a single Eclipse instance in your system.

Totally inaccurate. 

In embedded development you may very well have a one Eclipse for each target platform, or even for each project, thus the recommended way is to install as many Eclipses as you want in your home folder.

Actually installing Eclipse in /Applications should be discouraged.
