Hans,

First some background... Eclipse has a set of plugins (collectively known as
the Web Tools Project - WTP) which provide support for JEE development. One
of the most useful areas of functionality is support for various servlet
containers. You can run your web apps inside the IDE with full support for
hot code replace etc. Importantly WTP seamlessly manages the behind the
scenes exploded webapp stuff so you don't need to fuss around with building
wars all the time. 

Now as you know, your average JEE web app has a load of stuff that ends up
under the WEB-INF folder. I'm not a fan of putting configuration files
(spring xml files, localisation files etc) in the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
folder, rather they were in a dedicated conf folder. Doing this means that
to get WTP to work, you have to tell it to "map" the files in your dedicated
conf folder into the WEB-INF folder. This is what I use the
warResourceMappings bit for.

Hope that's clear enough - I mention another use as a comment on the jira
issue.

Phil.
