Hi everyone!
I am new here, using eclipse for a couple of years. I have used other editors such as notepad++ and editplus.
In notepad++ using F2, you set a mark in the left margin in the line you are positioned, and then, pressing CTRL + F2, you go there again, no matter where you are. You can set as many of these marks as you want.
In editplus2 o editplus3, it is the same using F4 to set de mark and F9 to go to the mark, as well, you can use the find dialog in order to set marks in everyline that contains what you are looking for.
My question is, can you set these kind of marks in eclipse? HOW?
I tried to find in the forums, but the search seems not to be working 
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, but only one mark exists per textual editor. To use this feature
assign your desired key bindings on the 'Keys' preference page to the
following commands: 'Set Mark', 'Swap Mark' and 'Clear Mark'.

Yep, that's how it works.

Eclipse has a feature called Bookmarks that might meet your needs. You
can right-click in the left gutter of an editor and select Add
Bookmark... (you can also assign a keyboard shortcut for it via the
Preferences). To view and navigate to your Bookmarks, open the Bookmarks
view (Control+3/Command+3 and type Bookmarks, or use Window > Show View)
