A:
You may install different JDKs easily: just specify different folders.
You can setup the installed JDKs in Eclipse Window/Preferences/Installed JREs
You can pick the JDK and Java version for every single project in Project/Properties/Java Compiler

But then Sun will constantly try to update both of them.

No, Sun will only always see the last version you installed. Also, you can install, copy the directory somewhere and then uninstall. Java doesn't need the registry keys to work. Just set JAVA_HOME and it'll work.

Why? There is an option (can't remember where exactly - right-click on your project) that allows you to set the target JDK level. I use this when developing GWT applications.
