Configure eclipse to work with tomcat

Is there a way to configure eclipse to create dynamic web projects with the standard folder structure? Like :

/root
   /WEB-INF
      /web.xml
      /lib
      /classes
      /...
   /META-INF
      /...

Instead of

/root
  /src
  /build
  /WebContent
     /WEB-INF
      /web.xml
      /lib
      /...
   /META-INF
      /...

I know I can export the project into a *.war file, but it's not what I want.

I finally found a solution that looks like Shinichi Kai's one. I changed the default output folder like he did,and instead of setting the docBase in the server.xml, I created a new context.

To do so,I created an xml file in %CATALINA_HOME%/conf/Catalina/localhost/. In this file, the context is defined like this: <Context docBase="<Eclipse_Workspace_Path>\<Project_Name>\WebContent"/>

It's cleaner than setting the docBase directly in the server.xml

Do you want to set docBase to your project's root folder? If this is the case, you can change Default output folder from YourProject/build/classes to YourProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes in Java Build Path.

And, set docBase to YourProjectRoot\WebContent in your server.xml.

Hope this helps.
