Eclipse: Get location of the current file?

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.


The other solution ("File-->Properties" or "Alt+Enter") didn't work for me.

I use:

  • Right Click (in current editor) --> Show In (shortcut: Alt+Shift+W) --> Project Explorer

This shows in Project Explorer the location of the file. If the file is a class in a referenced library, the dependency tree is automatically opened.


Use the Eclipse menu:

File->Properties

or the shortcut:

Alt-Enter

You should be able to see the Location associated with the Resource


Just hit Alt-Enter.
