Eclipse. Adding a file without duplicating it into the workspace

I want to load the entire www folder from the wamp folder into the Eclipse project and work on it from here. I've created a Static Web Project and tried Importing the files from the www folder in there, but it just makes duplicates of those file. How can i open all the www files in Eclipse, so any change i make in the IDE it appears in the files in the www folder. I'm sure it's something simple, but it seems at this time of day, i'm really out of it.

This should be possible if you try creating a Linked folder inside Eclipse.

Take a look at this.

Update

Also, steps to do this (from here) :

If you don't want to put your source code in the project, you can
"link" the source code to the project instead. In that case, you should
do the following:

1. Right-click the project, and choose Properties from the context menu.
2. Select "Java Build Path" from the left-hand side.
3. Click the "Source" tab along the top.
4. Click the "Link Source..." button.
5. Fill out the dialog box, and click the OK buttons.
