The Eclipse menus are very heavy, there is a lot of items. That is why menus group items into submenus. And, there is a special "Open With" or "Show In" group for opening extensions like this. I think it had to be reused. "Copy resource path into clipboard" does not fit this category indeed. But, it is not that necessary since Eclipse is the Number One IDE in providing user access to resource path info. Just click Properties item, right next to your StartExplorer.

    I think I can agree with what you say about the menu placement. With one exception: I really like to have the Copy resource path to clipboard option. Clicking Properties and then fumbling with the Properties dialog to manually selecting and copying the resource path is just a bit to inconvenient for my taste. Of course, that's really a matter of taste.

    I'll think about that, but to be honest, it's quite low on my priority list.

    If you are interested, you are of course welcome to provide a patch :-))

    Regards
