This Eclipse plugin attempts to provide this feature: https://github.com/caspark/eclipse-multicursor. From the README:

What is this?

A work-in-progress attempt to provide Sublime-Text-like multi cursor support for text editors in the Eclipse IDE.

What works?

• Multiple identical lines can be edited simultaneously using Eclipse linked mode editing (similar to existing "rename in file" functionality)

Next steps

• "find next" + associated editing

• editing of non-identical text / editing without using linked mode

• split selection to lines

• regexp support for find next
