In Visual Studio, or MyEclipse, you have a button which is able to locate a source file on disk, and open the containing directory in Windows explorer.

This is useful, for example, to browse images, or to use an other tool when a conflict occurs in CVS or SVN.

What would be the way to do it in Eclipse with a free plugin, or without any plugin ?

"In eclipse, it is common requirement to open the folder containing source file but there is no direct method to do that like in Visual studio of Microsoft."
