You can download the .tar.gz (for 32, or 64 bit) from eclipse.org, and then
extract it to the location of your choice and run it from there. You can have
more than one eclipse version installed at the same time.
To run it, just run the ./eclipse from the resulting directory. (or link a
launcher to it, add it to a menu, etc).
The Debian package for 3.2 seems to install to /usr/lib/eclipse
Maybe someone has a good idea about where to put eclipse when you download it
from eclipse.org - maybe /usr/lib/eclipse-3.4/ ?
I am just running it from my home directory at present. ie. ~/eclipse/
(probably not ideal, but it works).
