Just so you know, the mailing list strips the Reply-To header. You should
probably just subscribe. This list has a low volume, you will not be
overwhelmed. And if you are using Subclipse it could be helpful to get
advance notice on problems other people run into.

Thanks. I found it now. Although I still never see it in a context menu.
 I assume you mean right-click on a resource in something like Package
Explorer when you say this?

I still do not see the value in this request. Why do you want to see the
item in the SVN Repository view? What value does this bring? There are
only a handful of options you can perform on a file in that view, and all
of them can just be done locally via the Team menu. So why would you want
to take this Show In option, wait for it to run, and then take some other
option, when you could have just taken the option to begin with?

Anyway, just my opinion. As with any request, it ultimately comes down to
someone caring enough to take the time to produce and submit a patch that
implements the feature.
