Kristin, Thanks for showing interest in Apache NiFi. All artifacts are standard Maven modules. I cannot speak for Eclipse but I would image that they would support all types of Maven modules including web artifacts. Please reply with more details if you are having a specific issue and maybe it's something that another member of the community has encountered before.
If you had any feature requests that would benefit the community as a whole you could also enter a JIRA ticket [1]. This is where we track all the work that is currently in progress for upcoming releases. Thanks.
