Eclipse Plugin to "Open Explorer in this File location" for Package Explorer

Is there any plugin that lets me open the file I selected in the Package Explorer in windows explorer?
I am looking for an extra menu option in the right click menu of the package explorer.

Since Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) there is a Show in System Explorer command available from the context menu.

enter image description here

The Show In menu is also accessible through Alt+Shift+W on Linux/Windows and Alt+Cmd+W on macOS.

While there is a default setting that is suitable in most cases, the command for launching the system explorer can be configured on the General > Workspace preference page.

I'm using StartExplorer for several years now. It's easy to use, is up-to-date and does simply, what you are expecting from it. You can install it through

Help > Eclipse Marketplace...

You might want to have a look at http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eexplorer

  • keeps windows explorer in sync without the need to sync manually via context menu
  • less explorer windows -> less clutter
  • possibility to pop out native explorer
  • keyboard short cuts

If you can live without the context menu, you can even get this without any additional plugin, using just a launch configuration on the active selection.

I'm not sure if there's a direct way, but what you can do is right click on the file/folder, go to properties, then copy "Location" and put that string into a blank explorer window.

so,

right-click --> properties --> Location --> ctrl-c

open explorer window --> ctrl-v --> go button

Hmmm... Looks like we all have this problem. You can use this plugin to do exactly that and a bit more...

Sorry for self advertising... But I think this is what you are looking for!
