No, it's not missing; it's on both the Java (uncheck "Use default
location") and Dynamic Web Project (uncheck "Use default") wizards' very
first dialog page.

If you've previously created a project using those files and didn't
instruct Eclipse to copy them into your workspace (via Import for
example), then there may be bonafide Eclipse project artifacts in the
subdirectory. Or, there could be artifacts of a defunct Eclipse project.
I would think that you should know your filesystem more intimately than
I can guess at what's going on. Has Eclipse ever been used, etc.
You might try recreating the basic Java project elsewhere or strip the
existing one of Eclipse artifacts. Then create a new project using that
source code.
As a last resort, along the line of what I just said, just create a new,
empty project and create each class one by one copying the source code.
By the time you've accomplished that, one or more solutions to your mess
may occur to you anyway.
I'm guessing, however, there's some contamination by existing artifacts.
