In IntelliJ, it is very easy to find a class of a given name.
One enters ctrl-n, then types in the name of the class, and you are
presented with a list.

Eclipse does not appear to have anything so convenient.
The best I can find is:
Search -> Java -> Type

Is this is, or is there a faster way?

Al,

You mean like content assist, Ctrl-Space by default, in the editor or a
hot key like Ctrl-Shift-T for searching all classes that's generally
available in the perspective?

You can also check the menu 'Help > Key Assist' to get the rest of the
short cuts. There are lot of convenient short cuts available.

Doesn't Al want something like "Open Resource" by CTRL+SHIFT+R? This is
my preferred way to find a class.

Adam,

Given he explicitly said "find a class" I have to assume that the extra
files provided by Ctrl-Shift-R would be noisy rather than helpful. I
used this only to find things other than .java files, and yes, for that
it's very useful!
