Just to add my 2 cents to this.

I hate the name WebContent, EarContent, etc. too - you are not alone ;)

As Dan says it is configurable in WTP and as far as I know we don't have 
any hardcoding of it left in JBDS ( there we in the old Exadel code).
But if you find some issue with it please speak up and will fix/respond 
to it.

Do note that WTP expects *all* of the content to be in this folder 
META-INF, resources, to a certain extent libs too. Just something to be 
aware of ;)
