I know I could -use winzip or some such or make a project and add my jars
and use the package explorer... but I want to be able to right click on a
jar in any eclipse perspective and view my jar files....
Seems like a simple requirement and there must be a dozen plugins -just cant
seem to find them

I don't think that I understood what you need.
But if it's just to see what's inside the jar file, you can use the Package Explorer or Project Explorer views.
They have a node for each jar file that exist in the classpath of your project. You can click on the plus ("+") sign to open it and see what are the files inside it.

This is what the "ZipEditor" plugin is good for. It can view and edit any archive file.
