There is a need to look into zipped resources. Currently, this functionality only exists for jar files that are on the classpath. You can easily look into the contents of these jars. But a more general zip file explorer functionality would be useful for many projects. Often, zip files are the result of Ant builds. So it would be great to be able to look easily into these packed files to check the contents manually. There are a number of open source plugins, but they are not really well integrated into the platform. Also, most users would benefit from having this work right out of the box.
I think this issue is now covered by EFS Zip implementation
See also bug 157402.
The EFS zip implementation covers this
Does not work for me. The plug-in mentioned in bug 157402 comment 2 is just an unsupported example plug-in. This bug requests such functionality in the SDK. Furthermore, the example does not work for me in N20070704-0010. I imported a plug-in from the target platform as binary and then tried "context menu > Expand Zip File" in the Package Explorer, but all I got was this: !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.expressions 4 4

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
