Neon supports this natively, albeit in a slightly different way. See: Window > Editor sub menu.

You can always use Window > Editor > New > Clone and then drag that tab to the edge to create side by side editors (with tab)

I upgraded to Juno and found out it's not working on Juno. I hope it'll be patched soon.

This is awesome! I have wanted to be able to split an Eclipse editor for a long time. I work on other platforms which provide this capability, and it has always been frustrating to not be able to do this with Eclipse. But no longer! Eclipse should include this plug-in with its standard distribution (or provide this functionality built-in.)
