In IDEA you had the possibility to put your cursor on all lines.
Is this possible in Eclipse?

I'm not sure exactly what you meant. Is it something like block editing? – DJ. Dec 03 '09 at 08:35

Let's say I found a piece of code on the net, but the code has the line numbers on every line of the text. In IDEA, you could delete those lines from 2-3 presses of del button, by putting the cursor on column mode (this is name I think) – cc. Dec 03 '09 at 09:29

Eclipse 3.5 should have a column mode (which is what I think you're asking about) - use Alt+Shift+A:
I haven't tried this since I'm stuck at version 3.4.1 for the time being. There's a patch that claims to work for 3.4.0 (http://tkilla.ch/column_mode/), but it's not working for my 3.4.1 install.

If you refer to the ability to select a group of lines (like a all function), you can use the outline view
From there, you can move/rearrange/delete all block of text.
If it is about column mode, see my answer here.
