Show Eclipse Project Location in System Explorer

Starting with Eclipse Oxygen, the project properties have a button for this in the Resource settings:

The NXP MCUXpresso IDE has added a Utilities menu which I can use to directly open the file/directory location:

Hovering the mouse cursor over it shows the location and extra information:
