Eclipse cannot import just directories and files....they are of some eclipse known project type. And yes they are a war - which I assume if you out a servlet or index.html in these actually will be served out as such, correct?

put a index.html in here or a servlet and AS will pick them up won't they ?

The stuff that figures out what is runnable doesn't have access to maven metadata so its not a good choice IMO.
It can see files and classpath entries if it must.
