An Eclipse project type, or perspective, can decide to show the tree any way
it likes. The default Java perspective shows all folders as ordinary folders
except source folders. It hauls source folders to the top of the project,
gives them a special icon, and labels them with the full pathname (e.g.
"src/main/java"). In a WTP project, the web content root is also hauled to
the top and specially labelled. There is no general scheme for marking some
arbitrary folder for this treatment. So, unless you are using WTP, and
telling eclipse:eclipse to write configuration for WTP, you are stuck with
the irritating folder location. Unless you want to write your own Eclipse
plugin that rearranged the display in this case.
