Hallo Graham, thank you very much for your detailed advice!
We have already thought about using a VM, but now that you say, it works well, we are going for it. Actually we have very strong notebooks with i7, 16gb and pci-e SSD. Using a VM should be no problem. Is there a detailed tutorial for the ubuntu + eclipse + RSE installation for linux avaiable?
