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).
Is there any way to do this with Eclipse?

Open your file and then
Window->New Editor(Note: in newer versions it will be calledNew Window)Then, click on its tab and drag it somewhere else to have two editors of the same file
Update: as mentioned by moschlar, From version 4.4, two editors can be created with
Window->Editor->Clone.
