In eclipse, is there a way, to reveal the currently selected file in the filesystem. I currently need it to open in explorer, but it could also be in finder or nautilus.

Basically, I do not need the "Open with System Editor" option. I would like a right-click menu with the option: "Show file in explorer/finder/nautilus".

Thanks

Note: You can also develop your own external tool to open the file in a Windows explorer

Or you can use an eclipse plugin like StartExplorer.

Notes on MacOS:

zvikico mentions:

On Mac OS X, replace the location with /usr/bin/open and the arguments should be just ${container_loc}.

But Adam cautions:

Doesn't work - OSX, you need to put quotes around the ${container_loc} otherwise you'll often get bizarre error messages because it can't cope with spaces in file names.

But user2036022 details:

you can use -R "${resource_loc}" on macosx as argument to /usr/bin/open to be consistent with other similar tools.

Open the Properties of the file (Right Click->Properties) and the dialog will give you the full filesystem path.
