Say I have multiple files opened in Eclipse IDE. I just want Eclipse to show the file in the Project file tree, so I don't have to find it again and again from the left side.

Just like in NetBeans. In NetBeans when you focus on some opened file, the left tree will be updated and the file will be selected in the left (files tree).

Is that possible?

There is an icon which looks like two horizontal arrows, select this (so it is depressed, it's a toggle button with the tooltop 'Link to Editor') and changing tabs should now refocus the selected item in the explorer.
