Decompile class file in eclipse

Question

I have configured the JadClipse plugin in Eclipse Kepler. I can decompile any class within a jar in eclipse. But how can I decompile a class, that is not in a jar, in eclipse?

Just like in command prompt the jad -sjava HelloWorld.class command decompiles a standalone class(that is not within a jar file), how can I achieve this in eclipse?

EDIT

I added a standalone class file to my project build path using Add External Class Folder. Now if I hit F3, it is not decompiling. Rather it is showing Resource not found.

How do I view the class file in eclipse? I only see the .java files — Leo, Sep 24 '15 at 13:50
Can you do open file > open file and then choose your class file. — StackFlowed, Sep 24 '15 at 13:53
If I do that it says, "The Class File Viewer cannot handle the given input" — Leo, Sep 24 '15 at 13:55

Can you add that class file to you build path and try to open it. That should work.
