Hello Rabbe, |

This is unrelated to Prefix (unfortunately) but you could run the version |
| 4 |
of Eclipse you want inside of Docker if your system has Docker available. |
| 5 |
You'll need to look for some links on how to run X applications inside of |
| 6 |
Docker, but it shouldn't be too hard. |

|

I do so frequently to use old unsupported things and also test some bits of |
| 9 |
SW in different versions of Ubuntu (namely ROS versions). |

Feel free to send me an email if you need any help with this approach. |
