When you create the project you can set it to what you want - but yes, it is missing for the "project is already created, what now..."note: it's always been configurable.
Just not through the UI. The Maven 2 eclipse:eclipse plugin sets it to src/main/webapp, so clearly it works by tweaking the .settings file.
