Eclipse: Get location of the current file?

Question

If I\'ve got a file open in Eclipse, how can I figure out where it is on the filesystem?

For example, in Vim I would use :pwd.

Answer 1

What you're looking for is the 'Properties' dialogue for the current file. This can be activated in two ways:

• Selecting from the menu: File -> Properties
• Using the shortcut: Alt + Enter

This gives you a dialogue which contains both the full path of the document, as well as the relative path from the workspace root.

The dialogue can be quite handy: it allows you to highlight and copy the file path.
