Normally Eclipse 'File Compare' compares files in vertical panels like:
Is there a way I can compare them horizontally like:

Its too tiring to scroll everytime to see what was changed!!

Looking at the code of org.eclipse.comparator.internal.CompareEditor
(which is the name of the class of the editor illustrated in your question), I do not see any indication of a different "orientation" (horizontal layout vs. vertical layout)
So, no. I do not think the current implementation allows you to compare files with a different layout.
