In your web pages, you include Openlayers with
<script src=path>
Now that "path" can (and often is) a URL to a completely different site. 
Eg, you could link directly to Openlayers by making this
src ="http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/OpenLayers.js"; 
and not have OL in your war at all.

However, I like to have control over what my JS my page is using, use 
custom build of OL etc. The simple approach is have OL as a subdirectory 
of your eclipse WebContent directory. You reference in your index.html 
in the same directory with src="OpenLayers/OpenLayers.js". A better 
approach though is have your javascript libraries in a completely 
separately project. That way you have multiple web projects using the 
same openlayers library and save yourself a maintenence nightmare. I 
have a project called JsLibrary in which I place OL (as subdirectory of 
WebContent) along with a other common JS library.  There isnt any need 
to package a war though you can do so. What you need to do is setup a 
JsLibrary context on the same http server. When done, you project then 
references OL through src="/JsLibrarp/OpenLayers/OpenLayers.js".
