Technically, src/main/webapp is not a resource folder and it shouldn't
be used as Java source folder because its content will be copied into
the classpath and we don't want that.
So, this is strictly about presentation and it sounds like proposed
change is trying to work around limitations of "Package Explorer" and
"Project Explorer" views. For instance add src/main/webapp as a source
folder and exclude all its content, slomething like this in .classpath:
<classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src" path="src/main/webapp"/>
I am not sure if it is a good idea to use hack like this, but if users
think it would make their life better, we probably should implement it.
So, if you would like to see this feature, please submit an
enhancement request and vote on it. Also, if someone would want to work
on implementation of this feature we will gladly accept the patch and
will give a pointers to help implementing it.
Thanks

Not quite. Sorry, I wasn't being too clear. The webapp is already a source
folder. It's just nested within the /src directory and not aliased at the
top-level of Eclipse's Project Explorer.
My Eclipse Project Explorer currently looks like:
app
|- Deployment Descriptor: ...
|- Java Resources
|- src/main/java
|- src/test/java
|- src/main/resources
|- src/test/resources
|- Libraries
|- src
|- main
|- java
|- resources
|- webapp
|- test
|- ...
There are aliases under "Java Resources" to certain directories. I'd like to
add an alias to "src/main/webapp", mainly because the directory tree of our
"webapp" is complicated and could benefit from losing 1-2 nests. It's also
nice to have that directory higher up the Project Explorer, as it's accessed
frequently.
I hope that clarifies things.
I don't think I should have to modify any versioned files (pom.xml), as this
is just how a developer likes to view his project, and the project already
builds (with maven) perfectly.
Thanks

If I am understanding you correctly, you are interested in having the
"src/main/webapp", folder be a source folder, buy you are running into
problems when you try to do it through Eclipse, since the .classpath file
is
being managed by the m2eclipse plugin.
If this is the case, you can try telling m2eclipse, through the pom, that
the "src/main/webapp" folder should be considred a Java Source folder
similar to the "src/main/java" and "src/test/java". One way to accomplish
this is to add the "src/main/webapp" to the resources section of your
pom.xml file, similar to the following:
...
<build>
...
<resources>
...
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
I hope this helps....
Thanks

I'm using m2eclipse 0.9.4.20080603-0114, and I really enjoy it except for
one
thing:
There is a "Java Resources" folder that puts a few of the folders under
/src
in the top-level of the project, making their contents easily accessible
(/src/main/java, /src/test/java, etc.); however, I'm having trouble
customizing what gets included here. Namely, I'd like to have the
"/src/main/webapp" folder at the top-level too, but if I add it as a
"Source
Folder" under Java Resources, it seems to change some classpath because
my
application will fail.
Is there a way to have a "Web Resources" top-level directory that
includes
the jsp's, WEB-INF, etc. that are under "/src/main/webapp"?
Thanks
