My web application is structured as follows:

\webapps\mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\com\mycompany\myproject\*. java
\webapps\mywebapp\WEB-INF\xml\com\mycompany\myproject\*.xml
When I set up an Eclipse Java Project, I point it to
\webapps\mywebapps\WEB-INF\classes. This works fine for Java. I can see
all the packages and classes in the Java Browsing perspective. However, I
cannot see my XML and Javascript. I tried pointing Eclipse to
\webapps\mywebapp, but then I could not see the Java packages and classes
properly. For those, I need to use the linked folder feature, which works
fine. I view Javascript and XML in the Resources perspective.
But, when I start adding the Java to CVS, it does not allow me to add any
of the XML or Javascript. I guess this is because they are linked folders.
1. Is there an easier way to see non-Java files in my project and still
have the benefits of the Java Browsing perspective? That is, is
...\classes the right place to point Eclipse for my project?
2. How can I have one project within which I commit and update Java, XML
and Javascript through CVS?
Thanks,
-Will

You should point your project to '\webapps\mywebapp', then add
'WEB-INF\classes' as a source folder (see Project->Properties->Java Build
Path->Source)
You will be able to see non-Java files in 'javascript' and 'WEB-INF\xml'
under the project and you will be able to manage them through CVS.

Several people asked me this question today...
How, within Eclipse, can I open a file anywhere on my local machine (i.e.
not part of the project).
Related...if someone mailed me a few .java files, how do I add these to an
existing project?

Jerome,
Thank you for your response. I solved this a different way and it brings
up a larger issue. My *.java files really shouldn't be in
WEB-INF/classes, right? They should be in WEB-INF/src. My current
project puts both *.java and *.class into WEB-INF/classes.
What I did to make it work is as follows: Added /WEB-INF/classes/edu to
the Java Build Path-Libraries and in Java Build Path-Source excluded
WEB-INF/classes/edu (otherwise it complains). That seems to work OK
except that it exhibits a strange behavior. In the Java Browsing
perspective, I cannot edit the source until I've first gone to view it in
the Resource Perspective!?
When I try your way, it immediately tells me that all builds will go into
a MyProject/bin directory. If I say YES. I press OK and it then says
"The output folder has changed. OK to remove all generated sources from
the old location /MyProject".
I'm going to try seperating out the source from the class files
(WEB-INF/src and WEB-INF/classes), and then tell it about each in the
Source and Libraries tabs respectively. Hopefully that will make it happy.

This is not currently possible. See

I achieved the same thing by not checking the "Allow output folders..."
and setting the "Default output folder" to be the same as the source
folder. Are there any pros/cons doing it my way vs yours?

No, actually, I was seeing it in both but the preprocessor (checking for
warnings and errors) and editor were not working in the Java Browsing
perspective and *were* working in the Resource perspective. Strange.
