Eclipse Quick Bookmarks

Eclipse bookmarks out of the box wants you to enter a name for each bookmark. This is sometimes inconvenient when you are used to bookmarks in say, Visual Studio. Luckily there is a plugin to get just what you want:

Page: http://www.etc.to/eclipse_bookmarks_plugin

Update Site: http://eclipse.etc.to/updates/

Just Ctrl+B to add a bookmark.

Note: last time I visited, the website had a problem but the update site worked (and so did the plugin :) )
