How to access the Unix root directory or the / usr directory using the Mac OS X Finder interface and mouse click?

In the terminal application window, where I enter the Unix commands:

$cd /usr

$pwd

/usr

Can I go to this / usr directory and access it, like any other folder, using the Mac OS X interface and a mouse click? I mean, by selecting the hard drive icon on the Mac desktop and navigating through the Mac folder hierarchy until I can select the same files that Unix will display in / usr ..?

$ls -F

X11/        bin/        lib/        llvm-gcc-4.2/   sbin/       standalone/
X11R6@      include/    libexec/    local/      share/

I looked and tried everything that I could, but I can’t understand how to do it. The reason I want to do this is because I think there are certain banks (like Selenium) that will most logically be placed in a tree that comes from / usr, but if I found these banks in the / usr, I don’t know how to choose banks as external banners on the way to create a Java Eclipse project. (Back to my original question.) I put Selenium jars in another directory where I can get to them from Eclipse, but can't I find them in the / usr tree?
