That is an interesting point actually: In my daily work I often open multiple instances of eclipse, running with separate "workspaces" (basically different application directories with separate configuration). So only a single instance accesses the application directory at any time but I can have multiple instances running. Is that possible with builder right now? (when running from flatpak, it uses a cache for downloading/building. I suspect that cache dir might be shared when running two instances of flatpak builder.)
