In eclipse, reveal current file in filesystem

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
