How can I launch multiple eclipse IDE with different workspaces?

I need to run multiple eclipse with different workspaces. For Mac, I can launch eclipse using open -a Eclipse.app --args -data WORKSPACE. When I execute open -a Eclipse.app --args -data DIFFERENT_WORKSPACE, I just redirected to the existing eclipse.

You can run multiple instances of Eclipse by creating a pseudonym for Eclipse application in it's folder and using it for running new Eclipse instance

try:

open -n -a [PathToEclipse]/Eclipse.app --args -data DIFFERENT_WORKSPACE

-n will open a new instance of the application(s) even if one is already running.
