Exactly. Or by downloading EPPs and not copying them to Applications but
wherever you want. You can still then drag them into the launch bar.
Works perfectly for me. Only caveat: I'm still using OS X 10.14.6; don't
know if Catalina might be different.

I have actually a large number of Eclipse instances installed; some from
one-shot tests that I just forgot to remove, but also a number of
differently configured Eclipses in the launch bar that I use regularly
for different projects. Only thing that bugs me is that they all have
the same icon. Makes it sometimes hard to pick the right icon to click :-)

Cheers,
