Productive Eclipse Plug-Ins : Easy Explorer !!!

Easy Explorer is a very useful plug in, which helps you to browse resources with the native Operating system explorer.
In the Eclipse, select a file, right-mouse click, and select the 'Easy Explore'.
This way explorer will be opened and you desired file will be highlighted.

Direct Download link for this file : Easy Explorer for Eclipse(easy-explore-1.0.4)

Likewise there is also another plug-in : StartExplorer
StartExplorer is also having lots of options, but I feel Easy Explorer is more friendly as it can be used in the tree browser as well as in editor as well.
