Provide a menu item "File > Open Workspace" to launch multiple workspaces from Eclipse IDE without closing the current workspace. See discussion on https://www.eclipse.org/lists/platform-dev/msg02600.html and the macOS implementation in https://github.com/turesheim/eclipse-launcher.
All the platform specific code is in its own fragment, so it should be fairly straightforward to add support for additional platforms (other than macOS). I'm willing to donate the existing code in https://github.com/turesheim/eclipse-launcher if there is interest.
(In reply to Torkild Resheim from comment #1) @Torkild:[just a side note] Just noting with gratitude that I've been using your plugin ever since I came to know about it and it has been really helpful. Never faced a problem and I use it all the time - Thank you very much!
+1 would be great to have this built-in by default.

Thanks, Torkild. No problem, I'm glad I may be able help out :) I guess one would need to get a CQ approved to get this started. But first it would be great if someone took a look at the existing code to determine whether or not you want it in the Platform.
