Maven archetype for JSP

I have a problem. I want to create Java Project which uses Servlets and JSP. So I create new Maven project and choose maven-archetype-webapp. So it creates the project, but there are .idea and src folder. There isn't source folder. What should I do to be generated "source" folder. I have the dependencies needed. I am using IntelliJ. While using Eclipse I have absolutely the same problem. I fix it with checking "Maven Dependencies" in "Java Build Path/Order and Export". It worked in eclipse, I don't know why. Or can someone tells me how to create project in IntelliJ which has generated pom.xml, web.xml and "source" folder. The question may be stupid, but I really don't know how and obviously I make something wrong. Thanks for your attention.

You should try to stick to the maven default project layout convention. All tooling defaults to this structure (see the link given above).

In Intellij you can easily create a Maven project via the "New Project" dialog.

If you want to keep your current project layout, you can try to right click on your "source/production/java" Folder and click "Mark Directory As" and then "Source root".

This marks it as Java source folder. You should then be able to create new classes via Context menu.
