Description

Today in java project view we have a option to reveal the selected path in OS file manager. Adding another option or ability to configure that menu to reveal the path in vscode explorer would be nice.

This is beneficial when you want to add a new non-java file into a source folder or do any file operation on a source folder.

Research direction

Start in the Java project view at the existing action that reveals a selected path in the OS file manager. Trace how that menu action is registered and determine how a corresponding VS Code Explorer reveal option or configuration should fit there. Done means a selected path can be revealed in the VS Code Explorer, including for source folders.
