There are a couple of alternatives.

In IntelliJ, I am able to copy JSPs to the deployed directory. You
might need to by some J2EE support for Eclipse (eg MyEclipseIDE).

>From the Maven side, you can run "maven war:inplace" which will
compile your sources to ${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/classes and
dependencies to ${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/lib. If you then point Tomcat
at that directory (And eclipse at that classes directory), you are
editing your JSPs in your source folder which is also your deployment
folder and you are all set.
