  • Just select the file tab and hit Ctrl+C to copy file basename into clipboard.
  • Hit Alt+Enter to bring up the file properties with absolute path and copy it manually.
  • Additionally you can use an Eclipse macro plugin that can do the steps in one go: http://sourceforge.net/projects/practicalmacro/files/
