Place the cursor next to an opening or closing brace and punch Ctrl + Shift + P to find the matching brace. If Eclipse can't find one you'll get a "No matching bracket found" message.

edit: as mentioned by Romaintaz below, you can also get Eclipse to auto-select all of the code between two curly braces simply by double-clicking to the immediate right of a opening brace.

As the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P has been cited, I just wanted to add a really interesting feature: just double-click to the immediate right of the {, and Eclipse will select the whole code block between the opening { and corresponding closing }. Similarly, double-click to the immediate left of the closing '}' and eclipse will select the block.
