How to open windows explorer on selected resource in Eclipse

I was looking for a small plugin for Eclipse that would allow to open windows explorer on currently selected resource from Package Explorer tree.

I know that Aptana Studio provides this functionality via context menu on the resource, but it has tons of other stuff that I am not interested to.

Are there other solutions?

In Eclipse Luna and later select a resource, then:

Alt + shift + W > System Explorer

or

Right click > Show In > System Explorer

The exact command that should be executed to open the System Explorer can be configured here:

Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > Command for launching system explorer
