Is there any way to change where the web root (Web Content) folder on a
dynamic web project after project creation? I see that there is a project
preference file for this, but can't seem to find any project preference UI.

The new folder name and/or location now shows in
..settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component.

Stephen

That's a good idea for some scenarios, but what if I want to change the
directory name without changing the directory structure? For example what
if I have no web root set (as seems to happen in projects created by
maven) or if I have several dir trees and I want to switch between them?
Also, if in some version control systems, changing directory structures
can lose history information.

hi Cam,

For those contexts it may make sense to alter the associated component file
mappings programmatically via the virtual component API (using
IVirtualFolder.createLink() and IVirtualFolder.removeLink() as appropriate
to add new and remove old "WebContent" mappings; you can look at
J2EEElementChangedListener for the logic which performs this automatically
in response to rename/move events).

Hope this helps,
Rob
