I'm after a feature in eclipse that allows me to allocate a shortcut to a line (say line number 55) then go somewhere else in the same file and hit the shortcut then IDE shows me the line 55. I have used this feature in Delphi IDE. Using CNTL + number keys[1,2,...,0] a shortcut to line where the curser is will be created. This shortcut only has effect within the editor and each opened file would have its own shortcuts.
Is there such a feature in eclipse? Is there any plugins out there which adds this feature to eclipse?

By default there is no shortcut defined for this task.
I use to define my shortcuts in Eclipse in "Windows/Preferences/General/Keys" type bookmark in the filter text and select the commands you want to define the shortcuts.
My current shortcuts are:
- Alt+Shift+B, Alt+Shift+A: Add Bookmark;
- Alt+Shift+B, Alt+Shift+V: Show View (BookMarks);
But, I agree, still is not fast as the Delphi predefined shortcuts.
Update 1:
This plugin (or its sucessor) seems to offer the option. From their site:
Add a numbered bookmark at the cursor: Alt>+[digit]. This creates a
quick bookmark with the specified number using a "single" keypress.
Only one bookmark of the given number can be present in the workspace.
Setting the same number bookmark again will clear the earlier
instance.
Goto a numbered bookmark: Alt+Shift+[digit]. Moves to the bookmark as
it was set using Alt+[digit].
Update 2:
Tested (Eclipse Indigo) and it worked like a charm.
You can add Bookmarks to the code fragments you think are important to you in eclipse.
I referred this link for the same purpose.
