It is convenient to have the resource folders in a flat layout like

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.
I tried out the project explorer view for a while some time ago, but reverted to
the package explorer for reasons I've forgotten. I just tried to change the
folders view type to 'flat' for the src/main/webapps folders, but I couldn't see
any way to affect it. Is that not what you meant?
