It is convenient to have the resource folders in a flat layout like
packages.
I have often wished that I could also make the src/main/webapp/ and
WEB-INF directories appear this way.
The main benefits are that you don't need to drill down through several
folders to get where you want (quick), and it hides directories without
any files (better overview).
It would also be my preference to make it obvious what JDT is processing
and what m2e is processing.
So I propose marking files or folders with the m2e icon decorator to
show the behaviour.
Perhaps in the future eclipse will allow the package layout for purely
visual purposes and detach its relationship with the buildpath.
Eclipse already provides such facility. It is called "Common Navigator
Framework" and it is used by WTP J2EE Project Explorer, for example. As
far as I know, JDT Package Explorer does use common navigator and the
only way to make resource folders visible there is to add them to java
build path.
