How to change default Eclipse WTP "Web Resources" dynamic folder

I need to change the default Eclipse WTP "Web Resources" dynamic folder. Currently it points to WebContent, and I need to point to src\main\webapp.

In my case the problem was that the jsp located in resources/templates were not found

The solution has been to change

<wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>

by the following

<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>

That is, modifying the file

.settings\org.eclipse.wst.common.component

I prefer the following solution, as the configuration is then saved in the .project file and also all files are kept visible in the Eclipse Project Explorer.

Create a Linked Folder called WebContent pointing to /src/main/webapp:

Right click project > New > Folder. Folder name: WebContent. Advanced > Link to alternate location (Linked Folder): PROJECT_LOC/src/main/webapp.

  2. Enable previous option checkbox, notice "Feather configuration available..." at the bottom.
  3. Click "Feather configuration available..." link and change directory

I found the solution: Under .settings folder in your project's folder, there is a file named "org.eclipse.wst.common.component", inside it change the line <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/> with <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/>.

That's all!

Or you may even do a simple rename of WebContent directory. Eclipse will update the above mention settings files
