How to open windows explorer on selected resource in Eclipse

Solution 1:

I use this plugin, it seems ok

New Eclipse Update Link https://fabioz.github.com/startexplorer/update/

Old link for reference

Solution 2:

In Eclipse Luna and later select a resource, then:

Alt + shift + W > System Explorer

or

Right click > Show In > System Explorer

The exact command that should be executed to open the System Explorer can be configured here:

Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > Command for launching system explorer

Solution 3:

Actually you can do that through the built in External tool manager. Here are the instructions : http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t77655.html I'm trying to get it work with Nautilus. However it works under Windows as I tried it.
