title: In Eclipse, how to open a file browser in the directory of the currently edited file
body: <p>I know it's possible in eclipse to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1161240/in-eclipse-reveal-current-file-in-filesystem">open file browsers from your project's resource browser</a>, but is it possible for files that aren't part of your project ? Typically external includes are not found in your resource browser... </p>
  
  <p>If there is the equivalent of $(resource_loc) for the editor, it would work.. But I wasn't able to find it. Can anyone help me on this ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT : I Found <a href="http://startexplorer.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">StartExplorer</a>, but it doesn't work for me. It is hardcoded to use <strong>WINDOWS explorer</strong> or <strong>cmd.exe</strong>. Also, it still requires you to use the resource browser. Other than that it can open paths selected in the editor, but they must be full paths. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT 2 : StartExplorer seems to have been upgraded. I no longer use eclipse, but if someone else is still looking for this, I'd look again at their stuff!</p>
