Useful Eclipse Plugins

Copy/Cut the whole line
This was a surprise gift while Googling for something else.
This plug-in lets you copy the current line with regular ctrl+c, No need to select the whole line.
You can get it here:

Eclipse has a built-in shortcut Ctrl+D for deleting current line.
Explore in File System
This plug in adds "Explore in FileSystem" context menu to package explorer in Eclipse. Very useful when you want to view the files in native file explorer.
The alternative way would be to go to properties and copy the path and manually visit the location in file explorer, which is not worth doing.
Well, I do not see I need this everyday. But when I need it, this plug in does save valuable time.
