Eclipse lets you expand your selection to ever increasing expressions in Java and back again (Shift-Alt-Up/Down). Press up often enough, and you end up selecting the entire outer class, and after that the entire file. Press down and you get back right where you started. It's super useful, particularly for understanding and refactoring old code. In fact it makes refactoring very enjoyable, almost game like. It seems as if that Eclipse feature is a pale shadow of vim text objects.
