Just an FYI, things are still somewhat flexible within a project under MyEclipse, if your deployment doesn't reach in to non-WEB-INF dirs. (Some of the functionality comes from stock Eclipse.) For example, on several projects we've had multiple source directories (like, say, a unit test source dir, a generated java source dir, etc.) You can set output directories for each source directory, so the "regular" source dir and the generated source dir get dropped into WEB-INF classes for automagic deployment, whereas the unit-test stuff hangs out elsewhere, accessible to the ant file but not deployed by MyEclipse. We still tended to use ant stuff for creating the war files etc. because we all hate IDE lock-in.
