Eclipse Back/Forward navigation using mouse buttons

There is an addin for Visual Studio called MouseNavi that allows you to use mouse thumb buttons to navigate your history.

Does a similar extension exist for Eclipse?

I don't know of any Eclipse plugin that does this, but assuming you're using Windows:

This one should enable you to do what you want: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm

With that tool you can assign each mouse button a sequence of keys (Alt+Left for example) and because it can be made application specific it won't interfere with other programs where you don't want that mapping.

Alt+Left and Alt+Right to navigate through the latest opened editors. Also, Alt+L to open up the shortcuts popup, so you can see what's available.

No real mouse navigation control though (not that I know of... at least). Although, should not be very difficult to create one and attach it to the same handlers that deal with the navigation commands.
