Go to http://log4e.jayefem.de/content/view/3/2/ and either down load the pro or the free version.
The ZIP file contains a features & plugins folder, just drop them into your eclipse folder.

StartExplorer Eclipse Plug-in

Every now and then when working with Eclipse you'd like to examine a file or a folder inside the Eclipse workspace with your file manager or open a shell/cmd.exe in this location. Or you edit a file in Eclipse and would like to open the parent folder of this file in the file manager or shell. Or the file you are editing contains a string which references another file in the filesystem and you would like to do some of the things mentioned above with that referenced file. This plug-in gives you a convenient way to do all this by adding a few entries to Eclipse's context menus.

Just drag-and-drop the button to the Eclipse menu bar to install the plug-in:
