When I'm editing a large file, I often want to have it open in two editing windows at once (eg, for reference, or because I'm working on two different parts of the file at once). For example, here's how I do it with Vim:

two files open at once

Is there any way to do this with Eclipse?

Open your file and then Window->New Editor

Then, click on its tab and drag it somewhere else to have two editors of the same file

You can right-click the editor tab, choose 'New Editor' and then drag the second editor next to the first.
