How to quickly copy the current editing file name or full file path in Eclipse (Luna)?

Question

This 'solution' doesn't look to work any longer in the Luna version: Copy path/file name in Eclipse to clipboard

This is actually a must have feature for a rich IDE!

Answer 1

You can use start explorer (alternate link) or Copy path plugin.
Short cut key to copy path to clipboard in star explorer is : Ctrl+Alt+ C

Standard eclipse eclipse doest have such key. You can select resource in Package/Project/Navigator view and press Alt+Enter to open property dialog and then copy path from here.

Answer 2

I am using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.Version: Luna Release (4.4.0) Build id: 20140612-0600

You can right mouse click on the file and select "Copy Qualified Name".

For this particular example, the path in clipboard is

/TestingProject/src/com/website/testing/App1.java

Answer 3

Use the EasyShell plugin

If using Eclipse 4.14 or later, from Dec 2019 or later, neither StartExplorer nor Path Tools nor Copy as Path works.

Instead, use EasyShell, which works great!

Instructions:

1. Unsure no text or code is selected.
2. Right-click anywhere in your open Eclipse file editor, including on empty space near your code, or in the Project Explorer pane.
3. Go to "EasyShell" --> "Copy Full Path to Clipboard", or "Copy Qualified Name to Clipboard" (see screenshot below).
4. You now have the file path copied. Paste it wherever you want.

Totally unrelated aside

Additional note: as far as good Ecliplse plugins go in general, I also highly recommend the DevStyle plugin, set to "Dark Gray (Darkest Dark)" Workbench theme, with the DevStyle "Editor theme" (syntax highlighting) set to Sublime Text 3 (Monokai), by Jeremy Shepherd <-- Update Feb 2020: dead links. Instead, I've copied and pasted the contents of Jeremy Shepherd's .xml file at the bottom of this answer.
